Carmel, the University of Haifa\u2019s Department of Marine Biology,\u00a0has a clear view overlooking the Mediterranean. The oceans, which cover seventy percent of the Earth, are teeming with life and represent a treasure trove which can feed humanity and provide energy and medicines for future generations. The oceans are also changing as a result of human activity. Marine biologists must fully assume their mandate as stewards of the sea\u2014monitoring the oceans, understanding how they are changing, and guiding citizens and decision makers to preserve our natural marine heritage.<\/p><p>Graduate students in the Department of Marine Biology are exposed during their studies to the biological and ecological processes of the rich and fascinating marine system \u2013 at multiple scales from microns to oceans. M.Sc. and Ph.D. students combine research on a wide variety of marine organisms and inquiries with an extensive range of obligatory and optional courses, educational cruises, research dives and lab work.<\/p><p>Graduate studies in the department include a period of thesis research under the supervision of one of the department\u2019s researchers. Core studies in the department of Marine Biology take place in English. External courses may require Hebrew proficiency.<\/p><p>If you are eager to explore the secrets of marine life, if you have the curiosity, motivation and scientific talents, join us.<br \/>Come dive with us into the unknown!<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Department Head:\u00a0Prof. Smadar Ben Tabou de Leon The vast majority of the seas have not been studied \u2013 from the coastline to the abyssal depths, from the molecular mechanisms [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[50,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-department-of-marine-biology","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2557\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
