The ocean as a part of our environment including interactions between atmosphere and ocean, ocean circulation, physical and chemical properties of sea water, marine geology and marine biology (MEA 200).
Ecology of Coastal Resources<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Survey of basic biological, physical, chemical and geological mechanisms underlying habitat-specific functioning, followed by discussion, in-class presentation, and critique of real and hypothetical case studies involving anthropogenic impacts (MEA469 co-taught with Dr. Astrid Schnetzer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biological productivity and tropic relationships in Plankton, Nekton and Benthos; community ecology of selected habitats (estuaries, intertidal zones, coral reefs, deep sea) and adaptation of organisms to marine environment (MEA 449\/549 co-taught with Dr. Astrid Schnetzer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marine benthic systems in deep sea and in shallow waters, focusing upon abiotic and biotic processes regulating density, diversity and taxonomic and functional composition. Discussions of benthic-pelagic coupling, predation, interspecific competition, biogeography, sampling problems, evolutionary trends, trophic structure and community organization (MEA\/ZO 750).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physiological ecology of fishes emphasizing energetics, production and adaptations to aquatic mediums. Ecological classification of fishes and theory of resource partitioning in freshwater, estuarine and marine realms (MEA\/ZO 756).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This course provides a how-to guide to the basics of experimental design and many of the common statistical analyses used by ecologists for field and laboratory experiments using marine systems as examples\u201d (MEA 793).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
