The deadline for application to the "Climate Change in the Marine Realm" summer course has been extended to Tuesday, 10 April 2012. The course will be held 10-24 September 2012. It will be convened in two locations, the first week at the Wadden Sea Station in List/Sylt, and the second week at the University of Bremen.
