International Students Scholarships Description: In the project, the basis for the increased use of different sensors and automated analysis instruments in monitoring the marine environment will be developed. The focus should evaluate how the data from environmental sensors available today can be used to estimate biomass and activity in different trophic levels of the plankton food web. This International Students Scholarships will include analysis and evaluation of environmental statistics from the historical time series, and also extensive measurements in the laboratory and in contrast to the marine environment (from the estuary to open sea) during different seasons. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com The project also includes collaboration with scientists from the NRM to optimize the design of monitoring programs with different goals, both in open coastal and marine environment. The International Students Scholarships knowledge obtained will be used to develop recommendations for the design of the monitoring program with automatic sensors, both on short-term focus (eg, weather events) and long-term (eg seasonal, annual and inter-related climate change) variations.
