AREA OF INTEREST
Climate Change, Marine Sciences
PROGRAMME LEVEL
Master
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
The MP-CCMS will train up to 20 international students annually in a wide range of aspects of Marine Sciences and Ocean Management in West Africa. Students will be exposed to interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary approaches in oceanography (biological, physical, chemical and geological), marine ecology, fisheries, coastal management and planning. Upon completion of their studies, the students are expected to have acquired adequate knowledge and practice about:
-
- Ocean observation basics (instrument operation, collection of environmental samples and data, time-series analysis);
- Laboratory analyses of key parameters (biological, chemical and physical measurements);
- Coastal management data collection (marine resources, human use, etc.);
- Accessing international databases, processing and analysing data (with appropriate software packages) ;
- Mathematical modelling (with appropriate informatics routines) ;
- Ocean governance (international and regional approaches, societal needs and wellbeing).
