On Monday 25 Jan 2010, a new course on the Master's Program commenced, entitled ‘Coastal and Marine Ecology', instructed by Dr. Guðbjörg Ásta Ólafsdóttir, University of Iceland/Research Centre of the Westfjords. We also welcome Dr. Þorleifur Eiríksson, Director of the Westfjords Natural History Institute, who participates in teaching this course.

The first course of the New Year, ‘Coastal and Marine Politics and Policy' came to an end last weekend. The instructor, Auður H. Ingólfsdóttir, has been at the University at every opportunity, also in the capacity of advisor. She will return again to teach in May.
