Description

This course explores the Earth's oceans in terms of geological, chemical, physical, and biological oceanography, with emphasis on understanding the oceans as an integrated system. We study the processes that form ocean basins, the forces that govern ocean circulation, the physical and chemical properties that influence the distribution of life, and the adaptation of organisms to their aquatic environment. We will also discuss the ocean's role in mitigating global change and the consequences for oceanic ecosystems and human society.

Course Requirements:

The course will have two in-person exams that will be taken during the class period.

The lab component (EARTH 223) is encouraged but not required to be taken with the class component (EARTH 222) of the course.

Intended Audience:

This course is intended primarily for freshmen and sophomores.

Class Format:

The course cannot be taken totally asynchronously; however, there will be some pre-recorded lectures that can be viewed prior to the class meeting.
