This is the first part of a two semester sequence in Marine Science: MSL F211, MSL F212, MSL F213L (Lab). This course introduces students to the geology, chemistry and physics of the ocean as well as related topics in the cryosphere and climate. Students will gain a basic understanding of the interconnections between the ocean and atmosphere, and the oceans and the solid earth (the continents and sea floor). Prerequisites: MATH F151X (may be taken concurrently). Offered Fall

Explores how global environmental changes are affecting Earth's oceans. Topics include climate change and ocean warming, sea level rise, coastal erosion, declining sea ice, changes in ocean circulation and ecosystems, oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide, ocean acidification, ocean pollution, dead zones and climate engineering. The course will investigate the causes, effects and implications of changes in the oceans. Prerequisites: MSL F111X or MSL F211 or ATM F101X or ENVI F101 or GEOG F111X. Offered Fall Odd-numbered Years

3.00 Credits
Study of life in the universe from a transdisciplinary perspective, bringing together insights from physics, astronomy, geology, chemistry and biology. Topics include the evolution of the universe, planets, oceans and life. Past and present oceans found in the Solar System provide case studies from which to examine the potential for life on and off Earth. Societal questions related to the origins of life, global climate change and the possibility of extraterrestrial life will be discussed. Prerequisites: WRTG F111X; BIOL F103X or CHEM F103X or GEOS F101X or PHYS F102X. Offered Spring
Prerequisite:
(ENGL F111X UF C- OR WRTG F111X UF C- OR WRTG F1X UF C- OR ENGL F1X UF C- OR EACE 60 OR SATE 1340 OR CORE F1 UF T T OR CORE F1AA UF T T OR CORE F1AS UF T T ) (AND BIOL F103X UF C- OR CHEM F103X UF C- OR GEOS F101X UF C- OR PHYS F102X UF C- )

2.00 Credits
Introduction to cold water diving and SCUBA techniques used in the research community. Includes familiarization with Alaska subtidal flora and fauna. Opportunity to work underwater and assist with diving projects conducted by MSL F421 students at the Kasitsna Bay Marine Lab during spring break. Completion of this course will allow students to be eligible to join the UAF (AAUS) dive program and to dive on the UAF sanctioned diving projects and have reciprocity to dive with other universities and other government agencies. Through this course, students also can be certified with a Research Diver Specialty (PADI) and a Dry Suit Specialty (PADI). CPR, First Aid (Red Cross), and Emergency Oxygen Administration (DAN) are offered through this course. Prerequisites: Basic biology/ecology courses, SCUBA (open water) certification. Special Conditions: Must have current SCUBA physical approved. Offered Spring
