Course Objective

Knowledge about the oceans advanced remarkably during the 20th century due to significant financial investments, a host of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies, new technologies, and an expanding community of dedicated experts. Despite this progress, the ocean remains one of the least explored and understood environments on the planet and a frontier for discoveries that could provide important benefits. Broader understanding is essential to make ecosystem-based, multi-based, multi-use, and adaptive management possible and to conserve marine biodiversity. Marine science and technology will play an increasingly central role in the multidisciplinary study and management of the whole Earth system. This course is aiming at introducing the limitations and challenges of working in water then focusing on specific technical issues, ranging from structure and materials to power, navigation systems and functions and deep understanding on applications of cutting-edge technology for using, preserving and managing marine resources.
