Arctic Marine Ecotoxicology

Tens of thousands of chemical compounds are in use today, alongside plastics, mercury, and other legacy pollutants that persist in the environment. Many of these contaminants end up in the Arctic, transported over long distances or introduced through growing local industrial and shipping activities. In a region already experiencing the world’s fastest climate change, Arctic marine ecosystems face a unique cocktail of stressors.

This master’s specialisation provides the knowledge and skills to study the sources, fate, and biological effects of pollutants, with a strong focus on Arctic marine environments and wildlife. Through a multidisciplinary approach, you will gain expertise to understand and address these complex challenges - preparing you for a career in research, management, or applied solutions for a more sustainable future.

This study programme requires compulsory attendance to the introductory meeting. See this web page for more information.
