3.00 Credits
Processes and mechanisms of adaptation of organisms to marine environments. Examines how environmental factors affect physiological processes in marine organisms. Lectures address physiological processes at cellular, whole organism and habitat levels. PREREQ: Graduate Students only or permission from instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis on diversity of physiological strategies developed by prokaryotic microbes and some simple eukaryotes. Approach is to examine and dissect specific metabolic pathways both in isolation and in how they integrate with central metabolism. PREREQ: BISC 207/208, CHEM 321 or CHEM 331, or permission of instructor RESTRICTIONS: Juniors, Seniors, and Graduate Students.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of molecular genetic methods to interrogate and modify the function of bacterial and archaeal genomes.
-
3.00 Credits
Ecologically-oriented study of biological oceanography and marine biology. Emphasis on food web dynamics, nutrient cycles, and ecophysiology in the open oceans, benthos, coral reefs and hydrothermal vents. Special topics include coastal eutrophication, overfishing, role of marine organisms and the oceans in climate change. Students will be expected to read primary literature, write a research proposal and learn some basic programming to solve homework problems. PREREQ: Undergraduates must have BISC207, BISC208, MAST314, MAST482. No pre-requisites for graduate students.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Covers multiple disciplines required to develop offshore wind resources for large-scale power production. As a case study, it integrates science, engineering, and policy. RESTRICTIONS: Open to graduate students only.
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of fishes with emphasis on marine fishes and their adaptations and roles in the marine environment. The first half of the course covers the diversity of fishes (characteristics, classification, & zoogeography). This part establishes a foundation in the diversity of fishes, family-level characteristics, and overall relationships among fish groups. The second half covers fish anatomy, physiology, and behavior, and the ecology of fishes and fish communities. Although the course focuses on marine fishes, many of the topics covered apply to fishes in all environments.
-
4.00 Credits
An experiential course in 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 of instructor required.
-
3.00 Credits
This course surveys the dominant molecular processes in marine organisms that are essential for survival. Students are introduced to metabolic pathways, protein structure and function, DNA replication and repair, gene transcription and translation, and mitochondiral and chloroplast organelle function.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of turbulence including the dynamics of vorticity, the cascade of energy and the theory of Kolmogorov, turbulent diffusion and turbulence in density stratified flows. Applications to many engineering disciplines as well as to meteorology and oceanography.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers a variety of topics pertaining to the conservation of marine biodiversity and living resources. Includes: Lectures, library research, and student-led presentation, debates and discussions of timely, controversial issues involving natural science.
