3.00 Credits
Complete an eco-entrepreneurship practicum of their choosing (subject to instructor approval) and receive structured guidance. Must involve helping to solve an environmental problem confronting society and include 100+ hours with a primary focus on working to develop a new and uniquely valuable solution to the problem. May include participation in established enrichment/co-curricular programs within the University; such as First Step Grand Challenges, Service Learning Scholars, or VentureOn; alternatively, it may involve an internship with an entity beyond the University. RESTRICTIONS: Completion of a basic entrepreneurship course prior to enrollment is strongly recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the science behind contemporary issues in coastal and marine systems, with emphasis placed on environmental problem solving. Explore how science is practiced to address regional and global topics of concern, including marine pollution, managing shorelines, sustaining ecosystems, and living with climate change. Practical skills in synthesizing scientific literature, data analysis, and public speaking. PREREQ: MAST382.
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of the evolution, anatomy, physiology, and ecology of chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras) with an emphasis on their unique life history strategies and ecosystem roles. Management and conservation issues facing these fishes will also be addressed. PREREQ: MAST 427 recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic PERL programming for biologists doing bioinformatics research with no experience in computer programming. Teaches PERL syntax enabling editing and trouble-shooting existing PERL programs/modules without writing new programs/scripts. Uses Biowolf parallel computing cluster at DBI. Goal is proficiency with computers from command-line, unix-based, terminal interface.
-
3.00 Credits
Teaches bioinformatic methods used to link genomic/proteomic sequence features to mechanisms of environmental adaptations or metabolic systems organization. For graduate students and advanced undergraduates applying basic informatic approaches/computational tools to research. Expectation of some programming experience. Computational tools include: PERL, PYTHON, R, and MatLab.
-
3.00 Credits
Approaches to writing in the geosciences. Students will write, edit, and prepare a paper for publication.
-
3.00 Credits
Geographic and hydrodynamic aspects of oceanography. The geography of ocean basins; physical properties of seawater; radiation; and observed distributions of temperature, salinity, oxygen and currents. Scalar and vector fields; hydrostatics; kinematics, momentum dynamics, vorticity dynamics, viscous flow and eddy flux. RESTRICTIONS: Requires permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of ocean and atmosphere remote sensing including space platforms, their orbits, instruments, data retrieval and image processing methods. Oceanographic and atmospheric applications of remote sensing and new developments in sensors and data analyses.
-
3.00 Credits
The process and mechanics of publishing scientific papers in scientific journals. Covers organizing data in tables and figures; mechanics of drawing up effective figures; marshaling of tables, figures and scientific ideas into a coherent story; and strategies and techniques used in effective writing. Examples taken from and principles applicable to all fields of science.
-
3.00 Credits
The energetic interaction of sunlight with the atmosphere and oceans influences the entire earth system. Examines the theory of radiative transfer within the ocean and atmosphere, and then explores several areas of applicable research including climate modeling and remote sensing.
