ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É

0:00 Hi there, my name is Doctor Martin Kurr and I'm a Marine Biologist here at the School of Ocean Sciences in ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É. I'm one of the admissions tutors for the school, and I'm joined today by Mattias Green.

0:10 I'm a Professor in Physical Oceanography and the other Admissions Tutor. And we would like to congratulate you on your offer to study here at School of Ocean Sciences ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É.

0:20 We are a dedicated school of Ocean Sciences. We have all the disciplines under one roof and it's a great place to be. That's just one of the reasons to come here., another couple are the wonderful habitats that you can see immediately behind us.

0:32 It's an incredibly diverse area in terms of the ecology, the habitats that we have are absolutely fantastic. It's a wonderful place to be. Personally, but also professionally, the advantages for teaching and research are really, really obvious.

0:44 We're also an incredibly friendly bunch, and we offer a really personable service to all of our students. I promise that you'll feel very much like you belong here from day one. We look forward to welcoming you in September.

Hi, I'm Martin Roberts. I'm a Biological Oceanographer here at the School of Ocean Sciences.

And today we're in the laboratory practical for the OSX2007 Ship-based Field Course, which makes use of the the Prince Madog to go to sea and to sample variables in space and time.

Today we're splitting into three groups. We're doing different activities.

We've got sediment grain size analysis going on downstairs where we're looking at, grain size distributions so that we can make inferences about current conditions and sediment transport.

We've got suspended sediment analysis. We've got a group working upstairs that are doing post-processing of samples that were taken at sea.

We've got chlorophyll fluorescence measurements going on as well, so that we can understand the productivity of our of our sea here in the Menai Strait

And we've also got plankton analysis as well. So identification of different plankton groups and counting of those plankton groups in, in samples that we collected at sea on the Prince Madog in November.

Hello everybody. My name is April Bishop. I am a second year student here at ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É, and I'm doing Marine Biology and Oceanography.

One of the best things I like about here at ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É, because you get the opportunities to go into the landscapes that we are in here today.

We are focusing on one of our ship based modules. Which you will have the joys to go on the ship at one point in your second year?

And today we have been focusing on different stuff that we're going to do that we did on the ship.

And what I like more about the practical, is that the Labs here is just such a big space for you to work in, and you've got such a big opportunity in as well, many lectures as well as demonstrators who help you to help you understand and help you learn more about things that you have an interest in.

One of my main, main things I really love being here is the opportunities that you do get here. 

As myself, I do peer guided, on an occasional basis. as well I have been involved with Marine Master's research in my foundation here, and I have had work experience at a tidal renewable company called Minesto. Yeah thats basically it.
