This course offers an overview of the ocean sciences for undergraduate students with some scientific background. This course will broaden the exposure of UA undergraduates to marine science in a cross-disciplinary context. Students considering a career or graduate school in marine science will find this class a useful preview of the different areas of marine science, and students interested in natural or environmental sciences will gain a better understanding of the many linkages between the ocean and the broader natural world. We will cover the role of the ocean in diverse components of the Earth system, including geological, biological, climatic, and human aspects.
