BIOL-104 Oceanography
This course is designed to introduce students to the four major disciplines in ocean sciences: biological, chemical, geological, and physical oceanography. These areas are studied by describing the composition of the oceans and then by examining the major processes which are active there, such as plate tectonics, ocean circulation, wave and tidal action and food webs. In addition, the course will cover man's use of the ocean as a natural resource and as a waste disposal site.
