Ocean Science in Action: Addressing Marine Ecosystems and Food Security at FutureLearn Course details
- Journey to the Western Indian Ocean alongside experts at the UK's National Oceanography Centre to learn how we can measure and monitor the oceans in order to better protect them.
- The United Nations has declared the decade of 2021 to 2030 a
- , designed to reverse the decline in ocean health. On this course, you'll learn what the critical challenges of sustainable development are in the framework of the Ocean Science Decade and the wider Sustainable Development Goals.
- You'll examine the latest advances in marine technologies, including marine robotics, remote sensing, and ocean modelling, exploring their use via three real-world case studies from the Western Indian Ocean.
- Learning via engaging digital animations and video lectures, you'll understand how we can use earth observation satellites to inform sustainable coastal development and marine resource management.
- You'll dive into the principles behind ocean models and explore the modelled world of ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, as well as the impact of climate change on the marine environment.
- Exploring the advances in marine autonomous robotic systems and their role in observing our 3D oceans, you'll investigate how these technologies can be deployed to address the global challenges of food security and sustainable use of living marine resources.
