The course explores the oceans via an integration of the biology, geology, physics and chemistry of the sea. In this course, students will learn how the oceans formed, why the ocean circulates in gyres and how life adapts to the environment of the sea. Additional topics include: plate tectonics, tracers in the sea, weather and climate in the ocean, waves and tides, marine food chains, coastal processes, and animal and plant diversity.

Two long-weekend field trips: One discussing natural barrier island processes and evolution (on undeveloped islands in the vicinity of the Duke Marine Lab), and another discussing issues arising on developed islands (on beaches ranging from the Charleston, SC border to Wrightsville Beach, NC), as well as coastal wetland processes (at the U South Carolina coastal facility, the Baruch Institute). Joint with EOS 202.

This course will consist of a series of weekly seminars by the leading Duke scientists (and a few from other universities) who study various aspects of global environmental change. The topics will include climate change, biodiversity, earth surface alteration, the ocean's role in climate change, water and carbon cycling and anthropogenic alterations, sea-level rise, soil erosion, energy and material resources, and public policy.
