2014 SUMMER SCHOOL IN KEFALLINIA ISLAND, IONIAN SEA TRAINING COURSE IN THE USE OF MARINE GEOPHYSICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE SEAS
The aims of the course are:
(i) to demonstrate the significance of marine geophysical techniques in ocean management, the EU implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC), and the preparation of Environment Impact Assessment (EIAs) and Strategic Environment Assessment (SEAs) studies and
(ii) to familiarize marine environmental scientists and engineers in the usage of the state of the art geophysical techniques in the Geo-Habitat and Cultural Heritage mapping in order to meet conservation objectives.
In detail, the participants will be introduced to usage of a range of geophysical (echo-sounder, side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler) and visual inspection techniques (ROV and drop camera), as well as to a number of commercial and open-source software for data processing and interpretation.
Program:
The course includes applied examples, case studies and a field trip for practical exercise and familiarization in the use of geophysical equipment.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the participants should have a better understanding of the basic theoretical concepts and have practical experience in the use of marine geophysical techniques in seafloor mapping. The participants will become familiar with several marine survey hardware and software and be able to apply them to a variety of geo-habitat sites and marine heritage areas, under expert supervision and personalized training.
