-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of the climate system: components, interactions, and variability; the ocean's role in the climate system: heat storage, sea level, and the carbon cycle; the ocean and climate change: observed variability, means, trends, and extremes, and using models and observations to attribute change. PREREQ: MAST341, MAST382, or MAST402.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduce students to the idea and techniques of coupling natural systems to human systems. The coupling includes microeconomics, biophysical modeling, data discovery, optimal management of renewable resources, and design of policy. RESTRICTIONS: Graduate students only.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the fundamental concepts of meteorology that are needed to understand onshore, offshore, and airborne wind energy. Topics include: forces affecting winds; terrain and land-use effects; air turbulence; numerical modeling; wind power and energy from turbines; and wind measurement technologies.
-
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: MATH 241 and MATH 242; CHEM104/CHEM134 or CHEM112; PHYS201/PHYS221 or PHYS207/PHYS227.
-
3.00 Credits
Conceptual experience in molecular biological techniques with an emphasis on their application to marine related problems. Topics include: nucleic acid extractions, cloning, gene amplification and characterization, and expression methodologies. PREREQ: MAST634 or CIEG644.
-
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
Analyzes energy use and energy policy with respect to politics, society, economics, political economy, technology, resources, and environment. Focuses on interrelationships among energy, environment, economy and equity (E4). It considers the energy policy options needed to achieve a more sustainable world.
-
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.
