The oceans cover about 71% of Earth's surface and host a diverse array of life. Biological oceanography is the study of marine organisms, and is an interdisciplinary subject that integrates biology with chemistry, physics and geology. The goal of this course is to understand the factors controlling the quantitative abundance and distributions of marine organisms in space and time and their interactions with each other and the surrounding environment.

In this course, students take advantage of the breadth of their shared experiences in the Geosciences Department from human dimensions to physical sciences, drawing from geography, earth systems science and geology. The platform of the course uses real-world Geoscience problems facing societies and cultures, incorporating the themes of Water, Air, Energy, Climate and Sustainability. Using readings, print and on-line media, students are encouraged to work through the ways in which integration of their diverse educational experiences leads to new levels of understanding.
