Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Did you know that around 45% of atmospherical oxigen is produced by algae? This exercise offers insights into physiology of marine macroalgae, a group which is partly used for industrial purposes. Hypotheses will be proposed and afterwards tested by means of in-situ measurements and lab experiments. This year, the photosynthetic performance and calcification of selected species will be in the focus. Language will be either German or English according to requirements.
