MAR 540: Introductory Fisheries Science
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
Provides a background on the development of fisheries science and examines the theories and techniques of biology, ecology, oceanography, and population dynamics presently employed. Components include fish and shellfish basic population dynamics, early life history recruitment, migration, growth, fishery dependent/independent surveys, alternative abundance measurement techniques, habitat considerations, and introductory fisheries modeling.

MAR 555: Introductory Physical Oceanography
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor A descriptive treatment of ocean atmosphere interactions, water properties, general wind driven and thermohaline circulation, waves and tides, and coastal processes. Simplified conceptual models demonstrate the important principles.

MAR 560: Acoustical Oceanography
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
Prerequisites: Basic calculus and physics courses Modern methods of acoustics in oceanography and the use of acoustics in other subdisciplines of the marine sciences emphasizing fundamental theories of relevance to the ocean. The course introduces students to the fundamental nature of wave propagation, the concept of acoustic impedance, sources of sound, array theory, and duct propagation. Students apply sonar equations to both passive and active acoustics. Reverberation, scattering, deep and shallow propagation are discussed. Students examine tools and techniques used in modern acoustical oceanography, including acoustical tomography, propagation through ocean internal waves, fisheries acoustics, and Doppler techniques.

MAR 572: Marine Resource Economics
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
Prerequisites: Graduate standing and consent of instructor (for economics undergraduates prerequisite is ECO 472) Application of economic reasoning to understanding causes and solutions of problems faced in managing the marine environment. Students learn to analyze natural resources management issues from an economic perspective with emphasis on management of marine fisheries. Students learn how economists determine the value of environmental goods and services that are not traded in markets and about economic policy tools used to address problems such as marine pollution and other threats to the marine environment.

MAR 610: Ocean Turbulence
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
Prerequisites: MAR 555 or undergraduate fluid dynamics Fundamental fluid dynamics underpinning ocean turbulence theory. Emphasis is placed on both a mathematical and physical understanding of turbulence, and considerable time is spent on classical turbulence theory and its application to ocean processes. Random variables and their quantification are introduced, as are dimensional scaling and analysis and non-dimensional quantities such as the Reynolds, Richardson, and Prandtl number. Other course emphases include exchange of energy between the mean flow and turbulent field, turbulent diffusion, modern data analysis techniques, and recent observations and newly emerging observational tools and techniques.

MAR 620: Case Studies in Estuarine Dynamics
4.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory Prerequisites: Permission of instructor Interdisciplinary estuarine dynamics emphasizing how interactions between physical, biological, and chemical phenomena govern major estuarine processes. The course uses two estuaries as case studies of the types of interdisciplinary problems encountered in marine ecosystems with partial focus on temperate estuarine environments. The two case studies are used to compare and contrast physical, biological, and chemical characterization of estuaries of differing watersheds, tidal dynamics, and geomorphologies. Field and laboratory studies are used to complement the theory taught in lectures and serve as a “hands on” part of the course.
