Oceanography

Catalog description

Oceanography provides a survey of physical, biological, chemical, and geological resources and the processes that define and affect ocean basins, coasts, beaches, estuaries, offshore waters and marine species. Environmental considerations include the role of oceans in global climate change issues, coastal development, exploitation of marine resources, and marine pollution. Students in the Marine and Environmental Biology and Policy (MEBP) program should take PH-270 , Physical Oceanography, for elective credit.
