SOES6013Introduction to general ecological principles relating to the ocean and description of the ocean environment. Physical factors influencing primary productivity. Primary production. Breakdown of organic material, and regeneration of nutrients. Oxygen relationships and anoxic conditions. Pelagic secondary production. Food webs. Importance of vertical flux of organics in water column, implications of zooplankton vertical migration to such movement. Behavioural and physiological problems associated with vertical migration in the water column. Fisheries and upwelling, the biology of subtropical gyres and the southern ocean and long term ocean time series plus and introduction to modelling in biological oceanography.
Formal Lectures: Will provide an introduction to the theory underlying biological processes in the marine environment. Each lecture systematically covers the main concepts and topics by the use of PowerPoint presentations, supported by illustrated handout materials. The lecturers¿ own experience in this field is incorporated where possible. Appropriate references to parts of course textbooks and introductory journal references are provided at each lecture. Suggested links are provided during each lecture to useful illustrative web pages.
A wide range of support can be provided for those students who have further or specific learning and teaching needs.
