3.00 Credits
Examines marine organic matter (OM) as it relates to marine and global carbon cycling including: 1) seawater and sediment OM molecular composition and reactivity, 2) OM biomarkers, 3) current OM geochemical analytical techniques. Activities include Lectures, discussions, student presentations, and a research paper. PREREQ: Organic Chemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
Development of the fundamental fluid dynamics used in analyzing flows in physical oceanography and meteorology. Fundamentals of vorticity dynamics and geostrophy, inviscid theory of Rossby waves, and Ekman boundary layers.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the factors that cause natural variations in Earth's climate on different time scales, focusing on biotic, geologic, and geochemical records. Includes discussion of changing continental configurations, atmospheric greenhouse gas levels, and the Earth-Sun geometry on ocean circulation and climate change.
-
3.00 Credits
Global change is impacting an increasing number of sectors in science, engineering and policy, creating a need for high-resolution regional climate data used in impact assessments and mitigation plans. The primary objective is to understand regional climate processes, modeling techniques, and tools for analysis. PREREQ: MATH201 or STAT475 or STAT200.
-
3.00 Credits
Analyzes the major policy and legal frameworks for managing oceans and coasts at international, regional, and national levels, with special attention to the Law of the Sea Convention, to the world summits on sustainable development, and to United States ocean policy.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to numerical methods used to solve the equations of ocean motion. Topics range from basic numerical concepts with applications to general transport and shallow-water equations to an overview of turbulence and ocean circulation models that are employed to understand weather and climate. PREREQ: CIEG 639 or MAST 691.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on climate change equity, international compliance mechanisms, and US initiatives. It is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates who seek to gain substantive understanding of climate change policy and the means, impediments and opportunities to reaching resolution of complex international questions.
-
3.00 Credits
Develops quantitative decision-making skills for science and technology policy decisions. Covers decision-making under uncertainty, axioms of decision analysis, decision trees, influence diagrams, sensitivity analysis, confidence intervals, value of information, probabilistic risk assessment, and multi-attribute decision theory.
-
3.00 Credits
Small teams of students are expected to apply the knowledge they have acquired during their degree to analyze and recommend solutions to environmental problems for real clients. Not only will students gain practical experience that employers value, but they will also come into contact with potential employers. Clients include businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations that have a real-world problem they would like a team of students to help solve. Students will gain professional experience in developing and executing a work plan, managing a team, applying appropriate decision tools, and communicating with stakeholders and clients through formal writing and presentations. Teams will work under the supervision of a faculty member.
