Virtual Modules

The course will provide students training in the scope of macroecology and bioclimatic modelling to infer and discuss the interactions and potential impacts of global climate changes (past, ongoing and future) on the different levels of marine biodiversity (i.e., from genes to ecosystems). It is mostly hands-on oriented, with a strong component on biodiversity and climatic data acquisition, management and visualization (e.g., the new Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios of climate change), as well as on ecological and species distribution modelling using state of the art algorithms (e.g., machine learning).

This module explores the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of monetary policy and focusses on the role of money, supply and demand theories as well as transmission mechanisms in modern economies.

Furthermore, participants will evaluate central bank instruments and strategies, gaining critical insights into the track record of major currency areas and current challenges within the European Monetary Union.

Biogeography is the science of how the Earth’s history and present environment determines speciation, habitat diversity and biodiversity patterns. It provides both a theoretical basis for understanding how biodiversity evolved and has applications in deciding where to have nature reserves, the spread of invasive species, and predicting the effects of climate change.

Participants will learn how to use leading resources of biodiversity informatics for individually selected species of interest (e.g. threatened, charismatic, important ones for food, pest or keystone species).

The course introduces students to the main concept of climate change economics. Student learn about the basics of climate physics and climate change impacts. The main part of the course teaches decision making in climate change with optimal mitigation, cost-effective mitigation, and international incentives to provide the public good of climate change mitigation. Students also learn about policy instruments to implement decisions.
