3.00 Credits
The interactions between fluid dynamic processes in the oceans and the organisms that live in different habitats. The main objective is to provide a descriptive and conceptual understanding of boundary layer fluid dynamics at several scales from whole ocean basins to flow around organisms. Examples will illustrate physical aspects of fluid dynamics; biological fluid dynamics with an emphasis on feeding, locomotion, and dispersal; and geological and geochemical aspects of sediment-sea water interactions. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: PHYS 136 and 137, or consent of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Training and practice in the gathering, analysis, interpretation, and communication of marine scientific data. Designed to extend and integrate the sampling and analytical procedures of marine science. Selected instrumentation and techniques, field experience, and laboratory time will be emphasized. Shipboard experiences, weekend, or extended field trips may be required. Course may be repeated for credit only upon approval of the chair of marine science and environmental studies.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Topics of special interest and/or unique opportunity. Prerequisites: Upper-division standing and consent of the instructor or pathway advisor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
The techniques of seminar presentation will be studied by preparing and presenting individual seminars on topics of interest with emphasis from their pathway. Enrollment for credit is limited to, and required of all, senior students majoring in marine science. (every semester)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students develop and/or assist in research projects in various fields of marine science. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. (every semester)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Assist laboratory instructor in all aspects of a Marine Science laboratory. Unit counts toward graduation, but not toward the major/minor. Pass/fail only. (every semester)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Experience in the practical and experimental application of marine science. Students will be involved in projects conducted by agencies and institutions outside the university, such as state parks, government agencies, research facilities, or marine industries. Enrollment is arranged on an individual basis according to a student's interest and background, and is dependent on positions available and faculty approval. A maximum of 3 upper-division units can be earned toward fulfillment of the requirements of the major. Pass/fail only. (every semester)
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Independent study designed for individual student needs. Prerequisite: Consent of the chair of marine science and environmental studies. (every semester)
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of basic algebraic skills for students with insufficient mathematics preparation. This remedial course counts for "work-load credit" only. That is, its 3 units are counted as part of the student's load during the semesterin which it is taken, and the grade earned in the course is included in the computation of the student's grade point average, but it does not satisfy any core curriculum requirement, or for the major or minor in mathematics, and it does not count toward the 124 units required for graduation. (every semeste

3.00 Credits
This core curriculum mathematics course provides a less algebraic alternative to MATH 115 for those students who need to fulfill the mathematical competency requirement, but who are not planning to go on in math. Topics may include: voting theory, graph theory, sequences, population growth, fractals, and recursion. Note 1: This course does not serve as a prerequisite to MATH 130, MATH 150, or MATH 200. Prerequisite: MATH 090 at USD with a grade of C- or better, or pass Level 1 mathematics placement exam within the previous year. (every semester)
