Marine Ecosystems
Lecturers: Stefan Mulitza
This course introduces the main processes and systems from which the marine environment is formed, from estuaries to the deep sea and from the tropics to polar regions. Concepts and tools are introduced that can be used to reconstruct the marine environment from the geological record.
The students will be able to (1) understand, select and apply the most useful tools for the reconstruction of specific marine environments, and to (2) identify potential pitfalls in the use of marine (paleo-) environmental indicators.
