The course also focuses on the effects of climate change on biodiversity. We look at the major controls on climate variability at a range of temporal scales. We study modern research methods that are used to investigate past climate and to model possible climatic trends, such as global warming. Topics include the carbon cycle, solar orbital variations, extreme events evolution, greenhouse warming, ocean-atmosphere feedbacks and the impact of this climate change on ecosystems. We explore the human role in global change, and the response of the environment to such changes, including effects such as sea level rise, changes in vegetation and fauna, and changes in ocean circulation.

Specialities BEPH

Keywords Natural services, bioremediation, ecological restauration, ecosystem sustainable monitoring and management, pollution attenuation, bio- engineering

Description Natural services and anthropogenic influences, bioremediation, biorestauration :

Ecological engineering is interested in environment management by promoting or designing facilities (sustainable, adaptive, multi-functional) based on knowledge of the mechanisms that govern ecological systems (self-organization, high biodiversity, heterogeneous structures...). The pure chemical or physical processes are not included in the scope of ecological engineering, but are necessarily related disciplines. How some species or natural populations or communities are able to help in the sustainable management of ecosystems or peri-urban natural, is the main concern of this class. The knowledge of the organisms influences on the ecosystem functioning will be influence Ecological engineering is applied in this TU to promote good quality environments. The economic and social issues are also taken into account in this concern.

Goals of ecological engineering:

• The rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems, restoration of functional communities, reintroduction of species;

• The creation of new sustainable ecosystems that have value to humans and the biosphere (eg regeneration of green and blue, use of biodiversity in urban areas...).

• The development of biological tools to control, manage or resolve community problems of pollution, restoring or maximizing an "ecosystem service"....

Field trip will be included to show examples of ecological engineering. Also a second field day will be devoted to explore a case of pertubated ecosystem that will be the support of personal work to propose management solutions to specific problems

WEO-55 Ecophysiology, Biomarkers

Specialities BEPH (OPTION)

Keywords Aquatic ecology; Ecophysiology ; Metabolism ; Adaptation; Environmental factors; Biomarkers ; Ecotoxicology ; biomonitoring

Description The objective of this module is to understand how marine organisms exploit their environment and how they adapt to the high variability of environmental parameters whatever they originated from (i.e., natural or anthropogenic). Teaching will focus on some key physiological functions (e.g., respiration, energy allocation, locomotion) that are directly modulated by the environmental factors. Environmental-related variations will be explained as well as the involved mechanisms. An integrative approach will be therefore followed by addressing such responses at different levels (from the molecular to the organism levels), including biomarkers of effects and of exposure to pollutants. The consequences on population dynamics will also be considered.

Specialities O&H

Keywords Tide, tsunami, swell, wave-induced current, non-cohesive sediment, erosion, bed-forms

Description This course is designed to bring a basic understanding of the nearshore hydrodynamics, the sediment transport processes and of the feed-back mechanisms which control the morphological evolution of sandy coasts. The main modelling approaches will be described and an overview of modern field instrumentations will be presented.

Keywords Chemical composition of the ocean, ocean-atmosphere gas exchange, biogeochemistry in the ocean and climate, coupled physical/biogeochemical processes, mixed layer, mesoscale, coastal upwelling, data, modelling, assimilation

Description The aims of this teaching unit are to provide to the students knowledge on the biogeochemistry of the ocean on coupled physical/biogeochemical processes and its interactions with climate. General laws and associated equations will be presented as well as measurement techniques, modelling, data assimilation with reading of scientific papers, practical work on computers (PW) and exercises (E).
