REGULATIONS MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY IN ECOLOGICAL INFORMATICS ( M. Phil—EI ) 1. Course Description
Ecological Informatics (EI) is a trans-disciplinary subject that integrates ecology, computational sciences, informatics and social sciences, in order to improve our understanding of ecological processes and expand socio-ecological theory to integrate the earth's natural systems, human values, human health and well-being. A suite of disciplines; ecology, informatics, computational sciences, ecological economics, anthropology, sociology and demography constitute EI.
2. Salient Features
The proposed programme in Ecological informatics has a strong emphasis on trans-disciplinarity. It will perhaps be the first academic exercise in India to impart computational and IT/informatics skills to students with background in natural sciences.
The programme aims to prepare students for a future in ecological sciences research, with a special emphasis on using Information Technology in the context. The inclusion of social dimension will complement development of critical thinking ability of the students. Hands on programming and first hand research exposure, particularly in another institution is a constructive innovation adopted.
Upon successful completion the students will develop a holistic understanding of the relevant concepts in ecological sciences, be competent to identify appropriate computational method, use computational tools to analyze and understand key theoretical, methodological and practical issues that underpin the flow of information within the biosphere, appreciate the contribution of a range of scientific and social disciplines in understanding and constructing environmental informa- tion pathways, demonstrate competence in the substantive areas covered by the course and develop skills that they can use in careers within, and beyond the field of environmental informatics. The course is an ideal stepping-stone towards a doctoral research fellowship or a research career.
