ENVSCI 672 - Ocean Biogeochemical Cycles

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded
Not repeatable for credit

Description:
Ocean Biogeochemical Cycles provides a quantitative treatment of the cycling of biologically important elements in the ocean in the present and past. This course examines the two-way interactions between marine ecosystems and their chemical environment, and their implications for the distributions of carbon, oxygen, nutrients, and trace metals in the ocean. A particular focus is on the ocean’s carbon cycle, and the role that organisms and ocean circulation play in regulating the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere over geologic time.
