Research on Ecological and Biogeochemical Aspects of HABs using Mass Spectrometric Techniques
Description: Proliferation of certain algae in marine or brackish waters can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, and alter ecosystems in ways that human perceive as harmful. These events are now generally referred to as “harmful algal blooms” (HABs), a recurrent and globally increasing phenomenon causing far-reaching problems for fisheries, aquaculture, recreation and […]
Satellite Detection of HABs: A Practical Course
Description: The course teaches the basics of ocean color radiometry, provides practical capabilities to search and download satellite data relevant for the detection of harmful algal blooms, remapping, merging, compositing and visualizing these satellite data to estimate the extent and frequency of algal blooms. The students will learn how to program using Windows batch files, […]
S.O.S. Océanos Summer Oceanographic School
Chile es más Mar que Tierra. Ese es el paradigma que COPAS Sur-Austral de la Universidad de Concepción pretende instalar a través de un programa de capacitación de profesores. Nuestro objetivo central es contribuir a la inclusión formal -en los Programas de Educación Básica- de contenidos relevantes sobre los impactos del cambio climático (CC) sobre […]
Ecology of Harmful Algal Blooms
Description Marine phytoplankton play a central role in the food web and biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. The species composition and size structure of the phytoplankton community are critical role in determining the functioning of ecosystems through trophic interactions and fluxes of organic matter. Therefore, the factors controlling phytoplankton dynamics, that is when and where […]
