About the Program

Marine Science Education: Microorganisms in the ocean are fundamentally important for a sustainable biosphere. They directly influence our environment and our climate. They have key functions in maintaining global elemental cycles (like carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur), yet we have only fragmentary understanding of the diversity and function of microbial life in our oceans. The study of marine microbiology involves research of fundamental issues such as the evolution of life, the functioning of marine food webs, global climate change, the fate of pollutants, and the biodiversity of the ocean. The students should familiarize themselves with the latest approaches and modern scientific methods of marine research in general, focusing on marine microbiology and molecular ecology, as well as biogeochemistry. They examine the interaction of microorganisms, including their biodiversity, with the global biosphere, especially the oceans of the world.
