Subject:

Marine Sciences and Technology: Graduate Course

Description:

Prerequisites: : Biogeochemistry or microbiology and biological oceanography or permission of instructor Biogeochemistry of estuaries emphasizing complex interactions of the major geochemical cycles and biological systems such as animal and plant production, nutrient uptake, and marine system transformations. Among the topics covered are the basic biogeochemical cycles as they related to both the productivity and function of estuarine systems, and the role of estuaries within the coastal zone relative to their watersheds and adjacent off shore waters.
