  • BIOM 469: Field Methods in Oceanography

    3.00 Credits
    East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

    This course provides students with a general background for a working knowledge of investigative techniques that are used to study the physical, biological, geological, and chemical parameters of the marine environment. Students learn to appreciate the scope of field studies through active participation in group projects and individual research efforts; those projects include planning and execution, analysis and interpretation of data, and presentation (written and verbal) of the results. This course is periodically offered at Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session. Since this course also is offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made. Prerequisite:    Any two courses in biology with the exception of laboratory courses only.

  • BIOM 472: Coral Reef Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

    This course investigates coral reef structure, formation, types and the relationship of reef organisms to their environment. Emphasis will be given to species diversity/identification, symbiosis, and effects of temperature, salinity, light, nutrient concentration, current predation, and competition on the abundance and distribution on coral reef organisms. This course will be offered at the Marine Science Consortium at Wallops Island, Va., with a portion taught in Honduras. Since this course is also offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made. One year of biology (with laboratories).
