EESC GU4923

The scale of biological oceanography, ranging from phytoplankton to large fish species. The relationship between nutrient cycling and organisms.

Biological forces that influence our oceans

An overview of the biology and ecology of the oceans with a focus on the interaction between marine organisms and the physics and chemistry of the oceans.

Biology and ecology of the ocean, starting from phytoplankton and primary productivity to fish ecology

An introduction to oceanography. It was superb

I learned about how marine organisms effect the ocean system and nutrient cycles - phytoplankton in particular. I also learned about how to write a research proposal and how to analyze research papers.

SO MUCH. Lots about ocean nutrient dynamics, phytoplankton, zooplankton. This course really teaches you how the ocean functions as a biological system.

This class covered the following general topics: trophic systems, observational methods, physiology, nutrient cycling, and more.

I learned about the biogeochemical cycles in the ocean and how phytoplankton, zooplankton and heterotrophic bacteria play key roles in regulating these cycles.

I learned about biogeochemical processes
