In this course, we will focus on marine coastal and open ocean habitats as well as freshwater systems, including lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, and wetlands. For oceans, we will explore such topics as currents, the interaction of climate and oceans, nutrient cycling and ecosystems. Our study of freshwater systems will focus on cycles, water chemistry and flora and fauna of local freshwater habitats.
