The MOOC Dynamic Energy Budgets provides a framework for modelling metabolism at the organism level, covering the full life-cycle, using the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) Theory which is applicable to all species. It quantifies, step by step, all the important metabolic processes such as ingestion, assimilation, growth, maintenance, development and reproduction.

The DEB models are powerful tools to predict the impact of climate change, the impacts of a toxic spill, the environmental conditions that optimize aquaculture or agriculture products, among others.

The course is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers that want to learn about the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the metabolic organisation of living systems.

Access to materials:
