MAR 25000 - Marine Natural History

(4)
A field-oriented block course that explores the natural history of marine environments and organisms, focusing on the North Pacific. The focus will be on using observations as a first step to learn about the environment and develop questions for further investigation. Comparison between observation and experimentation as methods of scientific inquiry will be drawn. The readings for the course will include marine natural history books for the area of travel and in-depth knowledge of local marine species will be expected by the end of the course. The course may travel throughout the Pacific region, including Mexico, Hawaii, Palau, Southern California Bight, Vietnam. May require international travel, exposure to harsh weather, and difficult conditions. Lab fee required for covering travel costs (expected to range between $1000 and $3000, depending on the destination). Prerequisite: SC16100
