Faculte des sciences
This course will apply advanced oceanographic principles to better understand physical, chemical, geological, and biological processes in the modern ocean. An overarching course emphasis is the effect of anthropogenic climate change on ocean chemical and biological processes. Specific topics include ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, pollution, and the roles of phytoplankton and microbes in the marine carbon and nitrogen cycle. Students will gain graduate-level insight into these areas through the review, presentation and written critiques of recently published primary scientific literature.
