Lehrziel

After successful completion of this lecture, participants are able to:

•Apply field surveys techniques, data management schemes and modeling techniques to their own data-sets;
•Select and use appropriate field-sampling techniques, sampling strategies and data management schemes for specific research and management goals;
•Understand in theory and practice field methods (snorkling, fish observation, habitat assessment) useful on micro- and meso- habitat scale;
•To apply data, sampled by their own, to different modeling techniques;
•Demonstrate critical thinking in interpreting and deriving conclusions from environmental and ecological data-sets.
