EAS 3510 Conservation Oceanography (also BIOEE 3510)
Spring. 4 credits. Prerequisite: EAS 3400. Recommended: oceanography course. C. H. Greene and C. D. Harvell.
Covers the interactions of physical and biological processes in marine ecosystems. Begins by looking at these processes on ocean-basin to regional scales and works down to the smaller scales relevant to individual organisms. Introduces students to modern techniques of marine-ecosystems research, including remote sensing, oceanographic-survey methods, and experimental marine ecology. This course is field and laboratory intensive with students engaged in hands-on, active learning that takes advantage of local resources.
