BIO.3059 Marine Biology
This course will provide students with a foundation in several aspects of marine biology. We will begin with a discussion of physical oceanography and then move quickly to biological aspects of marine biology. Topics will include plankton communities, benthic ecology, deep sea biology, marine mammals, and a number of distinct marine communities. In lab we will complete laboratory and field studies, taking advantage of our unique location near Long Island Sound. Our field studies will take place at the Marshlands Conservancy in Rye during the month of September.
