Graduate Diploma of Quantitative Marine and Antarctic Science

Marine scientists seek to understand the physical, chemical and ecological processes in the ocean and cryosphere. These processes include ocean currents, the exchange of heat and fresh water between the ocean and atmosphere, the cycling of elements such as carbon, and the role of the ocean in sustaining ecologically and economically significant fisheries. In a changing climate, it is essential that we improve our understanding of the marine environment, with a view to modelling and predicting the future environment, including extreme events. The Graduate Dimploma of Quantitative Marine and Antarctic Science comprises four 12.5 credit point core units, and four 12.5 credit point electives. The course is only available to students concurrently enrolled in a PhD in Quantitative Marine or Antarctic Science and must be completed within three years.
