ESS-6280: Marine Systems Science

This course is designed to give students an interdisciplinary perspective of ocean science focusing on the importance of marine ecosystems and the services the oceans provide as the largest ecosystem on Earth. Topics covered include ocean circulation, acidification, marine productivity, oil spills, hypoxia, coral bleaching, and marine reserves. Numerous marine habitats will be examined including coral reefs, mangroves, estuaries, sandy beaches, rocky shores, the open ocean and the deep sea. We will also examine Indigenous knowledge and stewardship practices connected to marine systems. Students will advocate for policy/solutions focusing on ocean health.
