For this seminar, participants will read and discuss journal articles concerning current issues in marine mammalogy. Participants will lead the discussion on a rotating basis. The class will meet once per week for one hour. Registration for this one credit class is by permission of instructor only.

3.00 Credits
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. 3.000 Credit Hours
-
3.00 Credits
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. 3.000 Credit Hours

This lecture and laboratory course offers a comprehensive view of the biology and taxonomy of early life stages of fishes. These stages, including pelagic eggs, larvae and newly-transformed juveniles, are abundant and diverse components of aquatic ecosystems. Their small size, dynamic growth and mortality rates, and dependence on ambient environmental factors, including ocean physics, make these stages vulnerable to variability in climate and to stresses of anthropogenic origin. Level of reproductive success in teleosts, termed recruitment, is highly variable and largely dependent on variability in survival of these early life stages. Knowledge of their morphological development contributes to studies of phylogenetic relationships. Ontogenetic data serve to clarify the complex systematics of teleost fishes, the most diverse and largest class of vertebrates. Early life stages often have specialized adaptations to insure survival in stressful habitats. In the laboratory, larvae of 130 families of teleostean fishes are examined and characters useful in identification are presented.This is a graduate-level course for students with and interest in fish ecology, fisheries science, icthyology and biological oceanography. It is presumed that students will have some experience and background in those disciplines. Prerequisites include an undergraduate degree in biological discipline; permission of instructors is required to be admitted to the course. 3.000 Credit Hours
