Oceanography:
An Invitation to Marine Science, 5th Edition by Tom Garrison, see textbook web site for online content (A note for students with the 4th edition of Garrison). |
| Rationale and Objectives: The ocean comprises about 70% of the Earth's surface area and plays a critical role in the cycling of energy and matter between the Earth's various physical, chemical and biological systems. Despite this, many people are unaware of how this vast body of water impacts the world around them. This course will emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of oceanography by exposing the student to the basic principals of geological, chemical, physical and biological oceanography. Relationships among these systems and interrelationships between oceans and human populations will be emphasized. Students should come away from the course with a greater understanding of how the sea "works" as a system and a more scientific view of the world around them. |
