| Inhalt | The course covers four main topic blocks addressing specific habitats (each block involves lectures, field activities, laboratory experiments, and faunistic excercises): 1) the sediment-water interface (solute gradients, bethic fluxes, bioturbation, macrofauna) 2) inside the sediments (marine sediments and organic matter, respiration, microfauna) 3) primary production and decomposition (photosynthesis, seagrass, grazing, organic matter degradation/methanogenesis) 4) the water column (nutrient flows, planktion, marine food chain) Specifically, the practical work involves - collecting samples in the field (snorkeling, diving, sediment coring) - extracting and identifying marine organisms - quantifying biogeochemical fluxes and measuring typical oceanographic parameters (microsensor-profiling, gas chromatography, spectrophotometry) - daily sharing of results and observations with the other course participants |
| Lernziele | - Gain experience in working scientifically in a marine environment - Obtain knowledge of marine habitats and biodiversity - Learn about biogeochemical processes and element cycling that occur in marine sediments, the water column, and at their interface - Obtain integrative biological and biogeochemical insight into the coastal marine enviroment |

| Teilnahmebedingungen | No special requirements, but we aim to give priority to students enrolled at the University of Basel in one of the following master programs (or who will enroll in one of these programs in the fall semester 2013): Masterprogramm Biologie der Tiere (Master Biologie der Tiere 03) Modul Environmental Geosciences (Master Geowissenschaften 10) Modul Biogeography / Applied Ecology (Master Geowissenschaften 10) Masterprogramm Ökologie (Master Ökologie 03) |
| Anmeldung zur Lehrveranstaltung | The registration opens with the start of the spring semester, on Monday, 25. February. There will be lists in the secretary offices of the Zoological Institute (Vesalgasse 1, Mrs. Yasmin Picton) and Environmental Geoscience Institute (Bernoullistrasse 30, Mrs. Karin Liesenfeld). The course is limited to 16 students (ideally we want 8 students each with a biology and geosciences background). Pending space, we will also consider UniBas Bachelor students and appropriately qualified students from other universities. Registred students should attend the preparatory meeting on 8. March at 12:30h in the room 223 of the Bernoullianum (Bernoullistrasse 30, 4056 Basel). |
