two "pure" marine science modules (combining marine geology/physics and marine chemistry/biology)
two 'applied' marine science modules (coastal zone management and environmental impact assessment)
Period two (12 weeks) Choice of three option modules from ten:
modelling marine processes
fisheries management and assessment
remote sensing and geographical information systems
marine micropalaeontology
marine geophysics
marine chemistry
pollution ecology/ecotoxicology
marine pollution
coastal and estuarine sediment dynamics
coastal erosion and protection
These specialist modules provide in-depth knowledge in one of the three nominal pathways: exploration and exploitation of coastal seas and Exclusive Economic Zones; nearshore pollution monitoring; and coastal zone engineering and management.
