BI 105 - Oceanography

Credits: 4 credits

Oceanography is the inter-disciplinary study of marine environments, including coastal, open ocean, surface and deep water, and sea-floor environments. Oceanography comprises four sub-disciplines of geological, physical, chemical, and biological oceanography. This course explores each of these disciplines and incorporates them into a holistic understanding of marine ecosystems. Specific topics include coastal zone changes and management, controls of biological productivity and fisheries, the influence of climate changes on ocean system variability, and major threats from pollution to endangered species. Laboratory and field exercises reinforce and illustrate the course content.
