Academics
Marine Sciences is an interdisciplinary Master’s programme combining biology, chemistry, geochemistry and earth sciences. You’ll focus on “Marine systems and processes” as a whole. You’ll be studying how these systems operate naturally and how they change through human intervention. Specifically, some of the crucial questions you’ll look at are:
- How does global warming and changing ocean circulation impact ecosystem functioning?
- How do changing ecosystems affect ocean chemistry?
- How does a change in ocean chemistry, in turn, impact biology?
