  • MAR 320: PHYSIO ECOLOGY/ANIMALS

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course will provide an introduction to the physiology of animals utilizing a comparative and ecological approach. The course will cover the topics of respiration, circulation, metabolism, osmoregulation, thermoregulation, locomotion, and sensory systems in the context of comparing the mechanisms and strategies utilized by animals from different habitats and phylogenetic groups. Some emphasis will be placed on organisms occupying various marine habitats, but freshwater and terrestrial animals and habitats will also be included. Laboratory investigations will examine the physiological responses of both invertebrates and vertebrates to common environmental stresses such as salt load, temperature variation, oxygen supply, and pH change. These investigations may be accomplished through measurements and observations in the field, as well as through experimental manipulations in a laboratory setting.

  • MAR 326: MARINE ECOLOGY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    A study of the ecology of marine organisms, the relationships of plants and animals to the physical, chemical and biological factors and their zonation and community structure. Analysis of current issues in marine ecology will also be addressed. Laboratories will include classroom investigations of population and community relationships and a MANDATORY weekend field trip to Wallops Island, VA.

  • MAR 331: CHEMICAL OCEAN

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This is the study of sea water, oceanic particulate matter and sediments in the context of chemical cycles, especially cycles of carbon dioxide, nutrients, metals and radioisotopes. Correlations are made between chemical cycles having periods from years to thousands of years and biological and physical processes. Correlations are made between chemical cycles having longer periods and geochemical processes. Measurements of the concentrations of major ions, trace elements and nutrients in sea water are made by wet chemical and physical methods.

  • MAR 338: ECOLOGY/MARINE PLANKTON

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    A study of the phytoplankton and zooplankton in marine and brackish environments. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons will be made between the planktonic population of various types of habitats in relation to primary and secondary productivity. This course will be offered summers at the Marine Science Consortium, Wallops Island, Virginia.

  • MAR 340: MARINE MAMMALS

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    The distribution, population size, physiology, evolution, adaptations and ecological relationships of marine mammals will be studied with an emphasis on mammals of the Atlantic Ocean. This course will stress hands-on understanding of marine mammal physiology, behavior, population dynamics and species diversity. Laboratory and field work will include an extended off-campus field trip to facilities holding and/or studying marine mammals of the NE Atlantic Ocean. In addition, the laboratory portion of this course will emphasize data collection in the field, and subsequent analysis and presentation of the data through a required mini-research project.

  • MAR 342: ICHTHYOLOGY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    A study of the fishes. Specimens collected along our Eastern Seaboard by the student will be used to illustrate the anatomy, physiology and systematics of this major vertebrate group. Field collections will also give the student the opportunity to observe the relationships of these animals to their biotic and physical environment.

  • MAR 344: MARINE BOTANY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    A study of marine and marine fringe plants of the Middle Atlantic Coast, their taxonomy, ecology, distribution, life histories, physiology, and economic status. Techniques of collecting, preserving, identifying and herbarium cataloging will be stressed. Exercises in plant ecology, deep core pollen analysis and marine microbiology will be included. (Same as MAR 342: Marine Botany at Consortium, Wallops Island, Virginia.)

  • MAR 346: SEDIMENTOLGY&STRATIGRAPHY

    4.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    The basic composition, transport, diagenesis and distribution of sediments are introduced along with the principles governing the classification, correlation, interpretation, of stratified rocks are presented by means of lectures, laboratory exercises and field trips. Laboratory exercises demonstrate procedures used in analyzing and presenting stratigraphic data. Field trips are employed to introduce the student to stratigraphic principles and local stratigraphic problems.

  • MAR 348: BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    The interdisciplinary study of the interactions between biological communities and the ocean environment as observed in the distribution of coastal plankton, fish and benthic invertebrates. Field studies of sample populations will be compared to quantitative environmental variables using state-of-the-art sampling equipment. Topics covered include: the effect of current transport on plankton at barrier island passes, the effect of submarine banks on fish populations, ground truth data for satellite imagery, and epibenthic population studies of nearshore and intertidal environments. This course will be offered summers at the Marine Science Consortium, Wallops Island, Virginia.
