MSM508 - Coral Reefs on the Edge |
|||||||||
| Coordinator(s) | Stephen Smith (ssmith2@une.edu.au) | |||||||||
| Unit Description |
This unit integrates the skills acquired in previous units and applies them to coral reef systems. Coral reefs are important habitats, are the most diverse marine ecosystems, and generate substantial interest from tourism to science. They are also amongst the most vulnerable ecosystems to human disturbance. Assessment will include assignments and quizzes during the residential school. MSM 508 is based on the senior undergraduate unit MSM 308 with additional load consisting of extensions to one of the assignments. Candidates will be required to show a greater level of understanding of the unit material than that required at 300 level. Students who complete MSM 308 are not permitted to enrol for MSM 508. |
