Welcome to Assessing the cumulative effects of human activities on marine ecosystems (2022)


Description: The challenges regarding the oceans is on the agenda around the world. The sea areas are facing extensive exploitation, and along with the numerous maritime activities, the marine environment is highly influenced by climate change. This PhD course addresses the need for decision support for maritime spatial planning and will provide an introduction to maritime spatial planning processes as well as specific planning needs, concepts and tools referring to the ecosystem-based approach, ecosystem services, and multiple use of marine space. The PhD course will introduce state-of-the-art and assessment tools and will include hands-on workshops on cumulative impact, co-location, and ecosystem service evaluation.  

An assignment, reflecting on how this kind of tools can be utilised in the context of the PhD students own work, has to be handed in to pass the course.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
