In Marine Biology (Biol114)
students are introduced to the diversity and ecology of life in the oceans
through a series of lectures and field trips. Discussion of basic physical and
biological oceanography precedes exploration of marine ecosystems
such as the rocky intertidal, kelp forests, coral reefs, estuaries, and the deep
sea. We will also discuss interactions
between humans and the oceans.
Marine Biology is offered during the fall semester. Other marine-related courses included: Ecology of Atlantic Shores (every other fall semester, with Dr. Livdahl), Topics in Marine Biology (every other fall semester), and Physiological Ecology of Marine Algae (every other spring semester). Ecology of Atlantic Shores and Physiological Ecology of Marine Algae provide students with "hands on" research opportunities ranging from field ecology to molecular biology. Topics in Marine Biology is a seminar based course that allows students to explore, read, discuss, and present issues in the primary literature. Students interested marine sciences are encouraged to participate in off campus programs such as the School for Field Studies and the Semester in Environmental Science at the Marine Biological Laboratory. In addition, summer classes for undergraduate and graduate students are offered at many locations. Please see the link below for information about off-campus research programs and summer courses. |
