Ecosystem Modelling of Marine and Freshwater Environments

3 credits · Undergraduate

Students develop and apply mathematical models of marine and freshwater ecosystems to study biological production, biogeochemical cycling etc. Lectures provide theoretical background for coupling nutrient and plankton dynamics, including parameterizing biological processes and physical effects. Computer sessions provide hands-on modelling experience. Students also learn to critique modelling literature in a journal-club setting. CROSSLISTED: ENGM 6680.03, OCEA 5680.03 FORMATS: Lecture | Lab
