3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor Integration of fundamental concepts of natural science and social science relating to management of living marine resources. This course utilizes a case study of a fishery to explore how knowledge and methods from a variety of disciplines including oceanography, biology, ecology, mathematics, and economics are used together in management of marine fisheries.
-
3.00 Credits
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. Estuaries are examined both within the global and the New England context. Current issues of estuarine management and restoration are addressed.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAR 510 Advanced treatment of marine biogeochemistry and global environmental change. The oceans play a predominant role in global environmental change particularly with respect to their major geochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, etc. The major features of these cycles as they operate on a global basis are presented. Examples of natural and anthropogenic perturbations at present and in the past are a major focus of this course. A significant segment of the material deals directly with the role of oceans in controlling atmospheric carbon dioxide through its biological and solubility pumps.
-
4.00 Credits
3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory Prerequisites: IGS core courses, preparation in calculus and partial differential equations, or permission of instructor Structures and dynamics of ocean ecosystems. The dynamics of global to local scale biophysical interaction processes are explored in terms of basic dynamic principles. Existing ecosystem models are used to solve some realistic coastal ecosystem problems. There is a strong emphasis on solving process oriented problems requiring integration of lecture materials. A term paper is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Calculus, and permission of l instructor The basic concept of finite-difference, finite- element, and finite-volume methods; the various numerical methods used in solving the advection, diffusion, and elliptical equations; numerical instability; open boundary conditions; and numerical solutions of the primitive equations.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor Physics of the coastal ocean covering a wide variety of coastal physical oceanographic processes with emphasis on the continental shelf processes. Topics include tides and tidal currents, upwelling and downwelling, front processes, fresh water plumes, coastally trapped waves, boundary layer flows, and vertical and horizontal dispersion processes. This course is intended for students in IGS who require a working understanding of coastal ocean circulation and dynamics. Students enrolling in this course should be thoroughly comfortable with differential and integral calculus.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: College calculus and introductory statistical methods Advanced statistical tools are used to analyze ocean and earth system time series with specific application to fixed location oceanographic and meteorological data sets. Lectures describe the theoretical aspects of the advanced statistical tools that are used to analyze discrete data sets. Students use practical analysis exercises to learn the various ways to interpret set of equally spaced time and or space data series in the context of instrumental and statistical noise.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Graduate standing Seminar discussions and presentations based on research or detailed literature surveys.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT enrollment or permission of instructor A study of curriculum dimensions, concepts, design, and products for varied student populations and school settings. This course focuses on curriculum planning on multicultural and multisector levels, research of curriculum development, and the study of curriculum issues, trends, and innovations. Complete program descriptions are available in the Graduate Catalogue.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT enrollment or permission of instructor A study of insights which various disciplines can offer to the discussion of major educational issues, policies, and trends. The disciplines of philosophy, psychology, sociology, and history will provide the intellectual foundation designed to develop an awareness of and critical disposition to pressing educational concerns. Complete program descriptions are available in the Graduate Catalogue.
