This course is intended to train
post-graduate students and professionals on state-of-the-art methodologies and
tools to measure, understand and predict the marine environment, and derive
sustained benefits from the sea. It is elaborated over seven specialized
study units spanning and merging the scientific, technical and applicative
aspects of oceanography to offer students a wide-ranging integrated approach,
linking science to management, putting technology at the service of users and stakeholders,
and providing tools and training for more efficient service oriented
applications. Targeted areas of such applications include: environmental
monitoring and surveillance, assessment and mitigation of risks, marine
science-based policy development and strategic planning, climate change,
sustainable resource exploitation, ocean governance, marine industries and
service provision, and the overall empowerment of human resources to face
current and emerging challenges in the marine domain.
While retaining the necessary scientific elements related to the
acquisition and use of data and its transformation into knowledge, the course
targets to put an emphasis on achievement of skills, and empower students to
excel in performance on applications and operational practices.
