DEGREE PROGRAMMES

History

In 1973, the idea of Marine Research in the Aegean University, "Multidisciplinary Research Program for Regional Development" started in the framework of the ship and marine laboratory equipment required for data collection efforts has been the establishment in question. The Institute was established depending on the University of the Aegean on 14/10/1975, and connected to the Dokuz Eylul University in 1982.
The purpose of the establishment and the activity range was determined as follows:
* Marine Geology and Geophysics seabed with the possibility of economic mineral deposits and petroleum research and technology
* Marine discharges and technology in terms of marine chemistry and environmental engineering
* Physical oceanography and marine mechanics, wave mechanics
* Coastal and coastal structures engineering and technology
* Marine mapping and bathymetry
* Marine equipment technology
* Marine technology and economics of the legal issues related to it
* Marine structures and technology

2 years (excluding one year of English Preparatory School), 2 semesters per year, 16 weeks per semester, 120 ECTS in total.

Profile of the Programme

Physical Oceanography, surrounding seas and the physical properties of the ocean, the movements, interactions with the climate system on the basis of geophysical fluid dynamics analyzes, and monitoring systems and mathematical models to predict the behavior, pollution, sediment transport, and tries to explain the effects of the ecosystem.
Physical Oceanography Program, students from different disciplines of physical oceanographic information in the program by integrating the theoretical and practical information aims at solving scientific problems. Students are expected to take an active role in scientific studies in the field of Physical Oceanography. Physical oceanography, theoretical work, laboratory experiments, field observations, remote sensing and numerical modeling studies identified by a unique blend. This is, by its very nature, creates big differences between graduates in terms of interests and abilities. The program has a strong background in terms of hardware, provides both theoretical and practical training opportunities.
Subjects of the department; circulation and currents, water mass formation and motion, waves, the interaction between sea and atmosphere, rivers, bays and seas are very close to each other between the change in water potential, sedimen coastal hydrodynamics and transport, marine monitoring and its applications, marine ecosystem dynamics, satellite remote sensing methods climate changes.
Percentage of Courses Taught in English: 30%
