Ocean Sciences - Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing Track

Overview

With distinct strengths in ocean dynamics, air-sea interactions and remote sensing, ocean biogeochemical cycles, biophysical interactions and coastal processes, we strive to achieve excellence in research and education.

We seek to promote, among the public and policy makers, responsible science-based stewardship of the oceans. Our program commits to inspire graduates to continued scholarship, service, and innovation in an environment that is inclusive and diverse.

Goals of the Ocean Sciences - Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing Track from University of Miami  is to train graduate students and young scientists to be leaders in ocean-science-related fields.

Student Learning Outcomes

• Proof of Fundamental Knowledge: Students will demonstrate a broad understanding of fundamentals of ocean science and an awareness of how scientific research in their topical areas relate to current societal issues.

• Capability to Explain and Defend Own Work: Students will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of their field of work and the ability to explain their work and defend their results in oral and written communication in a way adequate for a continuing academic career and for employment as a highly qualified research scientist or equivalent professional level scientist.

• Capability to Give Short Presentations: Students will demonstrate the ability to explain their work and defend their key results in a short oral presentation in a competitive environment similar to a session at a scientific conference or a professional project meeting.
