Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2021-22

La asignatura de Buceo Científico es una de las Optativas del octavo semestre (4º curso) del Grado de Ciencias del Mar. El objetivo principal es la introducción del alumnado en las técnicas de inmersión, principalmente dirigidas al buceo científico.
El trabajo en inmersión es una de las principales metodologías de muestreo en ambientes marinos. Para determinadas especies, hábitats y/o condiciones, el buceo se convierte en la herramienta más útil e incluso, en algunas ocasiones, la única. Debido a que esta asignatura está orientada al muestreo, en ciertos aspectos puede estar relacionada con conocimientos adquiridos con otras asignaturas del Grado como el reconocimiento de especies (Biología Marina, Fundamentos de Zoología, Zoología Marina y Botánica Marina) o el tratamiento de datos (Estadística, Estadística Aplicada a los Recursos Marinos, Sistemas de Información Geográfica y Teledetección).
En el contexto profesional, los contenidos de la asignatura están claramente orientados hacia la investigación en el medio marino.
