introduction to the diversity, form, and function of marine organisms, and to marine environments and ecological processes. After a synopsis of the major groups of marine microorganisms, algae, plants, and animals, the course emphasizes the relationship between their structure (anatomy and morphology) and function (physiology). The course concludes by considering diverse marine habitats and ecosystems (rocky intertidal, estuaries and salt marshes, mudflats, coral reefs, open ocean, continental shelf and slope, deep sea), accentuating the physical factors (temperature, salinity and desiccation, solar radiation, oxygen) and biotic interactions (predation, competition, symbiosis) that structure these ecosystems.

This training is required to participate in scientific diving activities at many universities, including 91¸£Àû, and at all AAUS member organizations throughout the United States. Students will be instructed in advanced diving skills, dive rescue, oxygen administrations, and research diving techniques. Practical field diving activities will be a large focus of the course. Following successful completion of course objectives, students will be eligible to participate in diving research projects as a scientific diver-in-training or scientific diver. Students may also be eligible to apply for applicable recreational diving certifications. Participation is not a guarantee of certification.

The course is organized around a broad theme such as whales. Students then select a few broad questions such as \u201cwhy do whales migrate\u201d and \u201chow will bowhead whales respond to climate change?\u201d Students will work together to answer the questions, and will be encouraged to apply information from their introductory coursework and readings from the primary literature. These questions are designed to connect the theme to basic concepts from oceanography and biology, and topics will include: ocean biology and productivity, climate change, and evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prerequisites &amp; Notes: BIO 100, SMS 100 and SMS 201.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-13 kt-pane9570_7ff33e-76\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">SMS 373: Marine and Freshwater Algae (4 credits)<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p>A comprehensive introduction to the algae (freshwater and marine), including their evolution, physiology, life histories, and ecology.

Fundamental concepts about biodiversity, trophic ecology, population dynamics, recruitment, and the influence of climate change on pelagic ecosystems are examined. Students participate in plankton monitoring at coastal stations and learn to sample and identify local zooplankton and planktonic stages of fish. Readings include research in the primary literature.
