Glider projects in the FLOW Lab
Detta är ett förslag på examensarbete för kandidat- eller masternivå vid Institutionen för marina vetenskaper. Examensarbeten vid Institutionen för marina vetenskaper görs självständigt och bedöms individuellt.
Subjects: Oceanography / Biogeochemical interdisciplinary
Project level: Bachelor (15hp) and Masters (45 or 60hp only; 60hp preferred.)
Contact: Dr Bastien Queste
Note that we can only accommodate a small number of projects, so you should get in touch early to discuss project opportunities.
Project description
Student projects in the FLOW Lab will primarily use data from ocean gliders along with supporting datasets to observe, understand and describe the physical and biogeochemical processes playing a role in the variability of low oxygenated waters.
Supporting datasets are: reanalysis and satellite products, surface platforms observations, argo floats, and ships.
The projects will provide the students with an understanding of the breadth of tools available, training in handling large oceanographic datasets, programming skills as well as in-depth interdisciplinary knowledge in oceanography bridging physical, chemical, and biological oceanography.
Students should be comfortable with numerical and programming skills to tackle the physical oceanographic challenges while being interested in ecosystem-wide processes to bridge the different disciplines.
Suggested student projects
Projects can be based on data from:
- the Baltic Sea,
- the Gulf of Oman,
- the Antarctic,
and we welcome open applications on your topics of interest.
Specific topics are listed on the Flow Lab projects pages.
Some competencies in, or a willingness to learn, Python or similar languages is essential.
