3.00 Credits
Hazards become disasters when they affect people. This class is about understanding the social policies and practices that turn hazards into disasters. In this discussion-based seminar, we will explore case studies of hazards - heat wave, wildfire, hurricane, and climate change - and the environmental justice (EJ) issues that arise. Students will think critically, work to see issues from multiple viewpoints, and improve their ability to understand the social and environmental justice issues in current events.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to meteorological processes that affect air pollution, such as diffusion, atmospheric stability, and turbulence, with a focus on the atmospheric boundary layer. PREREQ: MATH241 and MATH242; CHEM104 or CHEM112; PHYS201/PHYS221 or PHYS207/PHYS227.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines role of microbes in the oceans and their impact on oceanographic processes and biogeochemical cycles in marine environments. Emphasis is on bacteria and their interactions with other marine organisms. Introduces use of molecular tools to examine uncultivated microbes.
-
3.00 Credits
Climate change will affect people and communities around the world in numerous ways, including physical safety, food and water security, and changing cultural practices. This course explores the legal, policy, engineering, and social tools we have available to adapt to these changing risks.
-
3.00 Credits
Hands-on study of estuarine and coastal communities with emphasis on patchiness in time and space. Instruction in field techniques as well as analysis and presentation of data. Experience in scientific writing.
-
3.00 Credits
Ecologically-oriented study of biological oceanography and marine biology. Emphasis on food web dynamics, nutrient cycles, and ecophysiology in ocean environments ranging from open ocean to coasts, and from coral reefs to hydrothermal vents. Topics include coastal eutrophication, overfishing, role of marine organisms and the oceans in climate change. PREREQ: BISC207 and BISC208; MAST314 or MAST382.
-
3.00 Credits
Integrates multiple disciplines required to understand, plan, regulate and develop offshore wind resources for large-scale power production. Offshore wind is emerging as a critical technology for large CO2 reductions because the technology is available, proven, and cost-competitive, and the resource near population centers. RESTRICTIONS: Juniors or Seniors only, with permission from instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of fishes with emphasis on marine fishes and their adaptations and roles in the marine environment. PREREQ: MAST382.
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the use and application of advanced environmental robotic systems. Emphasize a hands-on approach encompassing examination of platform design, sensors, navigation, mission planning, communication, and data analysis and interpretation. RESTRICTIONS: Permission from instructor required.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Course on plate tectonics with an emphasis on the history of plate tectonics, plate kinematics and dynamics, and processes at plate boundaries. Topics are explored from the perspective of marine geology and geophysical techniques. Course is taught through Lectures, scientific literature discussions, class activities, homework, and a term presentation. PREREQ: GEOL107.
