______________________________________

This introductory course provides students with an overview of the contributions to marine science of the disciplines of physical oceanography, geology, chemistry, and biology.

The course meets three times a week. It has no laboratory, but two sessions are devoted to laboratory demonstrations in the Marine and Coastal Sciences building. Students are asked to write a term paper on a marine science topic of their own choosing. Considerable emphasis is placed on teaching students to access -and feel comfortable reading- marine science literature.

Marine Sciences is presently a required course for both the Major and the Minor in Marine Sciences. Beginning in the fall of 2005 the course name, number, and prerequisites will change, becoming Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems 01/11:628:320 (4 credits) with 01:119:102 General Biology, 01:160:162 General Chemistry, and 01:640:135 (or 01:640:151) Calc I as pre-requisites. Students who are thinking of doing the Major or the Minor should consult with the Curriculum Coordinator, Judy Grassle.
