-
3.00 Credits
Designed to present animal behavior within an ecological and evolutionary context. Presents mathematical and theoretical framework of behavioral ecology. An in-depth exploration of the ways in which the behavior of animals is influenced by the environment, especially with regard to resource distribution.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will include the theory and practice of raising organisms for food and for the aquarium trade. Techniques for raising economically important organisms from the egg stage to marketable size and their food supplies will be studied.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
A workshop is a program which is usually of short duration, narrow in scope, often non-traditional in content and format, and on a timely topic.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A Selected Topics course is a normal, departmental offering which is directly related to the discipline, but because of its specialized nature, may not be able to be offered on a yearly basis by the department.
-
3.00 Credits
Graduate or undergraduate students after advanced registration in the course may complete the course requirements by either of the following options: Students may elect to take a 200-, 300-, or 400-level course in which they desire advanced work and complete, in addition to the regular course requirements, an approved project in the area under the direction of the instructor; or the student may do an independent research project. In order to be admitted to the latter option, students must submit a research proposal to the academic committee of the Marine Science Consortium. The proposal must include the scope and duration of the proposed research, equipment and facilities required, and a recommendation and approval from the academic advisor.
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course to familiarize teachers with the nature of the oceans and create an awareness of the interdisciplinary nature of oceanography. The teachers will have the opportunity to participate in field activities, develop skills in handling marine instruments, and perform investigative laboratory activities, which will enhance their effectiveness in classroom teaching of oceanography through personal experience.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of depositional environments of marine-dominated shorelines; their processes, sediments, sedimentary facies; models for recognizing ancient counterparts in rock record; and growth and development of barrier island-tidal deltas.
-
3.00 Credits
A field-oriented approach to environmental education with special emphasis on coastal zones. Students will relate their own disciplines to education for quality environments. Consideration will be given to sources, facilities, methods, techniques and concepts used in environmental education.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the interaction of biological, chemical, physical, geological and ecological ocean processes as applied to coastal environments. Emphasis is placed on environmental management issues of the coastal zone. Topics include water quality analysis, barrier island geology and ecology, estuarine pollution, beach defense and biological implications in areas of coastal up welling and coastal fronts. Specific cases in coastal pollution will be examined from coastal environments around the U.S., including Kepone in the James River, VA, DDT on the Palos Verde Shelf, CA., Eutrophication on the North Carolina Coast, The Exxon-Valdex Oil spill and Pfsteria in the coastal waters of N.C. and VA. Cross listed as MARS451.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course designed to emphasize the potential resources and the feasibilities of their exploitation. The role of ocean science and engineering in accomplishing this goal will be covered.
