1.00 Credits
Marine ecology from a molecular view focusing on microbes as the dominant organisms in ocean ecosystems. Lecture and laboratory integrate the theory and application of modern molecular techniques to quantify abundance, to assess diversity and to determine the interaction of microbes with each other and the marine environment. Prerequisite: AP Biology, introductory biology, or permission of instructor. (Given at Beaufort.) Instructor: Johnson
-
1.00 Credits
Ecosystem, community, and physiological ecology of temperate plants and animals through hands-on experimentation. How biological processes are affected by biotic interactions. Theory and methods reviewed through discussions; hypothesis formulation, experimental design, data acquisition and processing, and data analysis learned through field investigation. Includes several field trips, including two weekends. Prerequisites: Biology 19 or 25L or 110L or 116 or other course in ecology or consent of instructor; Mathematics 31. Instructor: Wright
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to microbiology from a marine perspective. Topics include microbial phylogeny, evolution, symbiosis, biotechnology, genomics, and ecology. Laboratory will employ modern molecular techniques to investigate the ecology and evolution of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes. Prerequisite: AP Biology, introductory biology, or permission of instructor. (Given at Beaufort.) Instructor: Hunt
-
1.00 Credits
Explore the stream, wetland and reservoir ecosystems of NC. Through hands on inquiry and field experimentation students will gain experience in formulating hypotheses, designing field observations and experiments, analyzing field data and interpreting field results. In addition to weekly field labs, the course will include two weekend field trips, one to the Duke Marine Lab and the second to the NC mountains. Prerequisites: Biology 19 or 25L or 110L or 116 or other course in ecology or consent of instructor; Mathematics 31. Instructor: Bernhardt
-
1.00 Credits
Interdisciplinary and in-depth study of contemporary environmental issues. Content to be determined each semester. Consent of Instructor required. Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Exploration of the complex interactions among science, policy and economics in the use of marine resources. Topics explored include the role individuals play in promoting marine conservation and environmental sustainability. Students will evaluate trade-offs systematically and learn to assess how different policy options affect the incentives of resource users and polluters. Serves as the capstone for the Marine Science and Conservation Leadership Certificate. Prerequisite: introductory economics or consent of instructor. Instructor: Smith.
-
1.00 Credits
Critical assessment of the relationship between people and nature, using film as the springboard for discussion. Assess the human perception of nature, and our place in it, using films representing four major themes: 1) wilderness and the frontier; 2) man vs. nature; 3) international perspectives on nature; and 4) destruction of the environment. Films will be drawn from various genres, including animated film, drama, western, and science fiction. Full-length feature films will be paired with in-class screenings of independent documentary films that are provided to our class by internationally recognized film-makers. (Given at Beaufort) Instructor: Burns
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to research methods in the marine sciences through lectures and customized individual independent research. Lectures on all aspects of research including ethics, intellectual property, budgeting, laboratory and reporting practices, data analysis techniques, reporting and presenting. Draft manuscript and proposal for future research and travel to meeting required. (Given at Beaufort, summer) Prerequisite: AP Biology or Introductory biology and permission of instructor. Instructor: Staff
-
1.00 Credits
Hands-on introduction to the practical skills, theoretical grounding, and ethical sensitivities needed to conduct documentary research on controversial environmental issues. Emphasis on responsibly eliciting and representing diverse stakeholder views. Students will conduct fieldwork on land use change in coastal communities as part of an ongoing Duke Marine Lab research project. Methods introduced will include interviewing, video/audio recording, documentary photography, interview data analysis, and basic video editing. Student teams will produce edited video segments for presentation to a community audience. (Given at Beaufort.) Instructor: Cumming
