1. AMINOR specific courses

Environmental systems: integration of monitoring, research and management – BIO-8006 (10 STP)

The course is a basic course for AMINOR PhD students. It has been developed based on presentations and discussions held during previous AMINOR workshops. It aims at integrating monitoring, research, and management around three themes: climate systems, ecological systems (terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems), and the relationships between society, climate, and ecological systems. For each theme, the course relies on concrete case studies from northern regions, as well as presentations of general principles, such as adaptive management and monitoring.

Ecological methodology: study design and statistical analysis – BIO-8105 (10 STP)

This course focus on design and statistical analyses and it is oriented towards monitoring of environmental systems and the contrast among different research strategies (e.g. observational versus experimental studies). This course is a core course for the AMINOR students.
