| OCEANS141 | The Science of Extreme Life of the Sea | Covers the way marine animals and plants live in extreme environments by examining morphological, ecological, and genetic adaptations to low temperature, high heat, deep water, etc. We also cover extreme lifestyles such as fast swimming, small and la... |
| OCEANS150 | Listening to Build Trust for Climate Action: Perspectives | As the world contends with the "wicked" problems posed by global warming, those seeking solutions must engage with a wide range of stakeholders bringing different assumptions, cultures, perspectives, and capacities. Skill-building often focuses on pi... |
| OCEANS157 | Creative Writing & Science: The Artful Interpreter | What role does creativity play in the life of a scientist? How has science inspired great literature? How do you write accessibly and expressively about things like whales, DNA or cancer? This course begins with a field trip to Hopkins Marine Station... |
| OCEANS161 | Between Pacific Tides: Invertebrate Zoology in Monterey Bay | Invertebrates range in size from microscopic mites to giant squid and are integral to ecosystems and their functioning. More than 97% of all described animal species lack a spine, and this course is an introductory survey of invertebrate diversity wi... |
| OCEANS170 | Taking the Pulse of the Ocean: Innovative Technologies for the Blue Planet | This will be an interdisciplinary course focused on the intersection of ocean science, marine biology, engineering and computer science.
