In this seminar, we will explore the science behind pressing issues facing our oceans, such as coastal eutrophication, ocean acidification and overfishing. Professors from the Five College Coastal and Marine Sciences (FCCMS) certificate program, representing different science disciplines, will engage with students in this discussion-based course. Students will gain a greater understanding of the scientific approaches being used to investigate ocean ecosystem health. They will also learn to analyze scientific literature and engage constructively in scholarly discussions. Ocean Blues can be applied to any of the course categories required for the FCCMS certificate.
Permission is required for interchange registration during all registration periods.
