Contents
The course will focus on relevant research questions in coastal ecology based on
the research within our Centre for Coastal Research (CCR). The questions will be
related to the dynamics and interactions of benthic and pelagic coastal
ecosystems, their management and human influences of this system. The course
content will vary slightly between years and focus on the expertise of local and
international collaborators who will join the teaching staff for the course. The
covered topics will be announced well in advance of the application deadline.
