The Master’s program Ecology of the Anthropocene: Urbanization, Biodiversity, Water aims to train expert ecologists and researchers to pluridisciplinary studies with other human, environmental, or technological sciences whose contributions are essential to understanding the functioning of ecosystems in the Anthropocene. Our objective is to develop a holistic vision of ecosystems during the course of training.
The Anthropocene is an era in which the functioning of ecosystems is forced by humanity and its activities at all spatial and temporal scales. Through widespread urbanization penetrating even the most remote areas, it is affecting biodiversity, which is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, as well as the functioning of hydrosystems, reducing the habitability of the planet for all living beings, including humans. There is therefore an urgent need to train ecologists who are aware of the issues at stake and are capable of confronting them, in academic or private research, but also as experts or professionals.
The EAube program therefore offers training through research, in which ecology, and in particular Teaching is multidisciplinary from the second semester of M1 and includes two territorial projects within the framework of the "Pluridisciplinary Fields in Ecosystem Ecology" and "Tutored Project" courses, the first focusing on hydrosystems, the second on urban worlds. The disciplines involved are ecology, geography (human, physical and urban planning), environmental physical chemistry, ecophysiology and ecotoxicology, evolutionary sciences, molecular ecology and environmental engineering.
The BEE - EAube master's degree is primarily aimed at students with a degree in life sciences, with a background in ecology, evolution and data analysis. Applications from students from other disciplines in life sciences, earth sciences or geography will also be considered with interest.
