From space, the oceans are the most obvious feature of the Earth, covering 71% of our planet's surface. Lifeas we know it seems to have evolved first in the sea and water is the most abundant component of livingthings. This course will survey the structure of the oceans and the role of living things in oceanic processes. Some familiarity with university level biology, chemistry, physics, and geology is recommended. Students canexpect to read about 30 pages for homework each week. The class will be conducted mostly in English.
