- SUBJECT OF THE THESIS: Ocean fronts and biological productivity in the Western Mediterranean Sea Ocean fronts are oceanic structures where physical processes influence biological activity at all levels of the food chain. They occur at the sea surface with intense horizontal gradients of hydrological properties. Tasks: - Review the current knowledge on primary production and ocean fronts. - Analyze physical and biogeochemical features in frontal areas by using available satellite data and numerical model outputs. DEGREE PROGRAM: Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, Physical and Natural Sciences and other relevant branches. ERC SCIENTIFIC SECTOR: PE - Mathematics, physical sciences, information and communication, engineering, universe and earth sciences BASIC REQUIREMENTS: - Basic knowledge of the Unix operating system. - Basic knowledge of at least one of the following data analysis and visualization tools: MATLAB, R, FERRET, Python LEARNING OBJECTIVES: - Bibliographic research and analysis - Deepening IT skills - Acquisition of methodological tools for research - Elaboration/writing a dissertation. - Teamwork approach RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR THE TRAINING: The candidate is reccomended to attend the laboratories of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per lo studio degli Impatti Antropici e Sostenibilità in ambiente marino, at Località Sa Mardini, 09170, Oristano Laboratorio di Oceanografia Operativa e Geologia Marina: o https://www.ias.cnr.it/macrotematiche-di-ricerca/gruppi-di-ricerca/linee-di-ricerca/oceanografia-operativa-oceope/ o https://www.ias.cnr.it/laboratori/laboratorio-di-oceanografia-operativa-e-geologia-marina-gdr-oceop-cosmo-oristano/
