Overview

The UNSW泭泭course泭This Unit of Study will introduce students to current research undertaken in various disciplines of marine science in Australia. This unit is co-taught at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) with contributions from the University of Sydney. Lectures and tutorials will be taught by leading marine science researchers. Topics will cover physical and biological oceanography, climate change, molecular ecology, aquaculture, marine biology and marine geosciences. In practical classes, students will analyse and interpret temperature, salinity, plankton, remote-sensed, and acoustic telemetry data from the Integrated Marine Observing System (), which provides comprehensive information on the biological and physical processes of Australias coastal and oceanic waters.

Notes:

  • Students are required to attend classes at泭泭(Chowder Bay Road, Mosman) taught by representatives of partner universities.泭 Meeting once per week throughout Term 1. This is a data intensive course.
  • Assumed knowledge for this course is a practical, working knowledge of statistical analysis at undergraduate level using R, including t-test and ANOVA, GLM regression, residuals analysis, multivariate analysis other general data analysis and manipulation using Excel spreadsheets.

What our graduates say

The Topics in Australian Marine Science course is designed to broaden your knowledge of the marine sciences as a whole. Every week, students undertake a different hands-on tutorial led by some of the best researchers in their respective fields, developing practical skills such as programming and data interpretation.
Along with the practicals, the seminars are led by renowned scientists that range in topics from environmental management to fisheries sciences to microbiomes, to remote sensing; definitely something for everybody. The class is also a great way to network and connect to your peers and academics, which in my case led to further research opportunities down the road. A must take!
