Synthesize evidence from different locations and at different times to build an integrated perspective of temporal and spatial variations in the ocean environment. Evaluate how life in the ocean is intimately coupled to the physical and chemical aspects of its environment. Analyze sets of observed or measured parameters to identify patterns in the data that attest to the dynamic behavior of ocean and atmospheric systems. After successful completion of the course students should be able to: The course goals include both overt and covert learning objectives, with the latter category focused on attitudinal perspectives that emerge from and complement students' comprehension of critical concepts and their ability to interpret oceanographic data. Moreover, the future of science will be rooted in the presentation of complex data sets on-line, as witnessed by the growth in their availability since this course first adopted web-based exercises a decade ago. Exposing students to these data sets and requiring them to comprehend the complexities of the Earth system should prepare and equip them to understand scientific information in visual formats likely to become increasingly prevalent in the media. plate motion, ocean temperatures and salinities). earthquakes, hurricanes, tides, wave height, atmospheric levels of ozone and CO2), supplemented by calculators and atlases (e.g. The course assignments utilize the ready available access to real-time or near-time observations (e.g. The fundamental skills targeted are development of abilities to construct, describe, evaluate and interpret scientific information presented in diverse visual formats on the internet. The course comprises lectures, in-class discussions, web-based exercises focused on explanations of critical concepts and recognition of the observational basis for understanding processes in the formation of ocean basins, the physical structure of the ocean and the atmosphere, the dynamics of ocean and atmospheric processes, and how they influence marine productivity and biology, and climate. Oceans and Our Global Environment incorporates aspects of geology, geography, physics, chemistry and biology in an interdisciplinary approach to exploration of the marine realm. #ONCOURSE INDIANA UNIVERSITY SERIES#
It fulfills the 'Natural and Mathematical Sciences' distribution requirement and consists of two lectures and one discussion session each week, the latter focused on the series of on-line web-based exercises that substitute for lab classes. This course explores the fundamentals of oceanography, and emphasizes the climatic and environmental importance of the oceans. Oceans and Our Global Environment is an introductory course in oceanography for non-science majors.
