This is a broad introductory course on oceanography and covers the
historical, geological, chemical, meteorological, and biological
aspects of the earth's oceans. There are no course prerequisites, but
any background in the physical and biological sciences is helpful.
The course follows the textbook quite closely, though there are
several supplementary handouts (see below). Unfortunately there are no
class field trips. :-) This course is taught in the Spring semester of
odd-numbered years.
Below are links to course handouts and other sites and helps.
