Teaching program:
Topics will cover the geological characteristics of this unique active volcanic area, its biological components adapted, in the local vents systems, to natural ocean acidification, hydrothermal fluids characterization, multi-parameter monitoring techniques and definition of experimental protocols for the sampling and study of the planktonic and benthonic ecosystems, with special focus on assessing effects of climate change and ocean acidification on organisms, communities and habitat.
