Concepts and models of marine microbial food webs
This two-week course, aimed primarily at PhD students in biological oceanography, is designed to provide a detailed overview of present ideas and theories concerning the mechanisms controlling structure and function of pelagic food webs. The main, but not sole, focus will be on microbial aspects of this ecosystem.
The course is intended to introduce students to the interfaces between biological concepts, their formulation in mathematical terms, and exploration of such models by analytical and computer simulation methods.
