Marine Geoscience

Knowledge:

• Marine geomorphology, marine stratigraphy, marine and nearshore depositional environments, stratigraphy and architecture of marine landforms, marine and nearshore geomicrobiology, dynamic measurements of water coulmn properties, marine and coastal sediment coring and surface sampeling techniques, shallow seismic techeniques and sub-bottom imaging, echo sounder measurements, data processing techniques.
• Ability to assess issues related to the sustainable management of marine arears as well being trained in the ability to analyse specific problems and scientific relations related to natural dynamics, sedimentary environments, bottom morphology and stratigraphy in shallow marine environments.

Skills:

• Use research equipment such as seismic devices, eco-sounders, ADCPs, current meters and sediment sample and coring techniques etc. commonly applied in marine geoscience studies.
• Apply basic and advanced data processing techniques for simple analysis of dynamic data.
• Evaluate strength and weaknesses of different marine geoscientific techniques and their related uncertainties.

Competences:

• Analysis, evaluate, discuss and apply methods, data and results to draw meaningful conclusions related to sediment dynamics, stratigraphy, bottom morphology, evolution and depositional controls of shallow marine and near-coastal sedimentary environments.
