A graduate level interdisciplinary overview of marine science with an emphasis on processes of ocean systems as related to biological life. Topics include the physics of ocean circulation, processes influencing vertical and horizontal distribution of properties, the chemistry of aqueous species (organic and inorganic), the influence of past and present processes on the ocean's sediments and basins, and the structure and function of pelagic communities. The course is divided into modules emphasizing the chemical, geological, physical and biological aspects, with interdisciplinary aspects of a wide variety of oceanic systems, such as upwelling regions, polar systems, hydrothermal vents, and oceanic gyres. The course will include exercises from the fields of biological, chemical, physical, and geological oceanography. Lab exercises are designed to complement lectures. Sample collection and analysis will be emphasized with additional focus on data analysis and interpretation. Undergraduate courses in Chemistry, Physics or Biology recommended.

This course will explore a fundamental feature of living organisms from all forms of life; how biological clocks operate and influence rhythmic activities in many organisms. The course will cover fundamental properties of biological rhythms and the cellular and molecular structure of circadian and non-circadain oscillators in organisms from bacteria to marine organisms to humans.

This course would discuss chemical thermodynamics/kinetics, acid/base chemistry, the dissolved carbon dioxide equilibria, precipitation/dissolution, re-dox equilibra, nutrient chemistry, the organic carbon cycle, and regulation of the chemical composition of natural waters. The second part of the course would include a survey of the major organismal groups in the sea, autotrophic and heterotrophic production, bio-optical processes, the carbons and nitrogen cycles, food web structure/diversity, succession, pelagic, benthic, and intertidal communities.

This course would cover dynamic physical oceanography, covering the properties of seawater, basic physical laws, waves, tides, geostrophy, current with friction, and thermohaline circulation. This information would be synthesized through discussion of descriptive physical oceanography. The second half of the course would investigate the origin and morphology of ocean basins and margins, as well as topics including, but not limited to: sources and composition of marine sediments, effects of waves and currents on sediment transport, sea level change, patterns of deep-sea sedimentation, climatic zonation of marine sediments, and resources from the ocean floor.
