-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on processes that create the oceanic and continental margin sedimentary record. Topics include marine particle production and composition,transport, seafloor morphology, stratigraphy and paleoceanography. Students gain a broad understanding of concepts in geological oceanography and marine geology.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Introduction to US laws and regulations pertaining to greenhouse gases and the generation, transmission, and integration of renewable energy into the electrical, transportation and building heat systems. Explores judicial opinions but also considers technical and scientific sources.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the unique physics and dynamics of the ocean and atmosphere that occur in polar regions, particularly at the interfaces between atmosphere, ice, ocean and land. Emphasis will be on exploring cutting edge research in these rapidly changing environments.
-
3.00 Credits
The cellular physiology of marine algae with a focus on the phytoplankton in today's ocean. Emphasis on a range of issues from photosynthesis, nutrient dynamics, and primary production to community dynamics such as seasonal succession and competition among different marine algae.
-
3.00 Credits
The ecology of reef building corals and coral reef environments are addressed, with an emphasis on control of species diversity and community dynamics, as well as physiological aspects of reproduction, symbioses, and calcification. The geological development of different reefs through time, reticulate evolution, and current policy issues related to human development and reef management are also introduced.
-
3.00 Credits
How microorganisms drive geological processes in modern environments, and the roles of microbial life on ancient Earth. Discussion of literature on topics such as biomineralization, weathering, microfossils, biomarkers, astrobiology, genomics, evolution, and redox history of Earth.
-
3.00 Credits
Composition of seawater; physiochemical properties of seawater distributions of gases, nutrients and trace metals; and effect of biological processes on seawater composition. PREREQ: CHEM103 and CHEM104, or CHEM107 and CHEM108.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Principles, capabilities and limitations of analytical methods to the chemistry of marine waters and sediments. Analytical methods include electrochemical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, electron microscopy and surface techniques. Emphasis on the analysis of trace components (biochemical, inorganic and organic) in the marine environment. Laboratory experiments. RESTRICTIONS: May be repeated for credit when topics vary.
-
3.00 Credits
Primary emphasis on linear water wave theory and its applications. Shoaling, refraction and diffraction of waves. Basic aspects of wave-structure and wave-bottom interaction. Introduction to basic wave propagation models. PREREQ: CIEG305.
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of marine invertebrate structure and function, physiology, development and life history, and ecology within the context of their evolutionary origins and phylogeny. Appreciation of their biodiversity and significance in marine ecosystems. Special attention to systematics and taxonomy of important groups and local fauna.
