<P class=Default><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=black size=2><SPAN

focused on individual based (<SPAN class=SpellE>Lagrangian</SPAN>) <SPAN
class=SpellE>modelling</SPAN> of marine phytoplankton and its application to our
field site in <SPAN class=SpellE>Alfacs</SPAN> Bay (200km south of Barcelona), a
physically complex coastal environment where recurring harmful algal bloom
events have significant impacts on the local economy. Individual based models
can be very powerful tools which allow the user to address certain issues that
cannot be addressed using the classical <SPAN class=SpellE>Eulerian</SPAN>
approach. These include: phytoplankton physiological (photo-acclimation,
-protection, etc.) and subsequent <SPAN class=SpellE>behavioural</SPAN>
(motility) responses to environmental <SPAN class=SpellE>forcings</SPAN>
(currents and turbulence) and stresses caused by sub- or supra-optimal resource
availability (of light, nutrients, etc). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=Default><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=black size=2><SPAN
lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US">The student will
use an existing 1D formulation of a coupled physical-biological <SPAN

383:53-71) and extend it to 3 dimensions by coupling it to an existing 3D <SPAN
class=SpellE>Eulerian</SPAN> model. Specific tasks would involve the <SPAN
class=SpellE>parallelisation</SPAN> of the existing code, the coupling of the 1D
model to either our existing 3D model or the local implementation of the ROMS
model (which should become available in 2011), and the adaptation of the code to
make use of the capabilities of Graphical Processor Units (<SPAN
class=SpellE>GPUs</SPAN>) for program execution. There is also a strong interest
in <SPAN class=SpellE>hyperspectral</SPAN> optical methods in our group and we
are currently installing an autonomous <SPAN class=SpellE>hyperspectral</SPAN>
profiling system at our field site. Depending on the student's interests, this
could also become a subcomponent of the project. In addition, there is the
possibility to participate in some field campaigns and receive training in the
use of a CTD, SCAMP, ADCP and AUV. As part of their training, the successful
applicant would also be given the opportunity to visit relevant international
research institutes for extended stays of up to 3 months at a time
(fully-funded). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
