BIOL 240 is a 15 credit Summer course that can be taken as an alternative to the three-quarter BIOL 180-200-220 Introductory Biology Series. It will be an exciting and high intensity, full-time academic commitment. Intended for, but not limited to, students interested in health professions.

This course will train students in application of key ideas and principles from Oceanography to address immediate societal needs in education, human health and aquaculture. Course content is designed to provide core knowledge, practical skills and real-world experience in Earth Sciences pedagogy and environmental monitoring. This content is relevant to students aspiring to be skilled educators at the K-12 through University levels; to gain qualifications for a wide variety of jobs in environmental consulting, marine industries, or technology; or to be basic researchers in Oceanography with improved insight into applications of their work.

summer 2018 courses at the University of Oregon’s marine field station: Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB). Non UO students can apply for summer courses.

To better understand the key factors that control the earth’s present and future climate, this course examines episodes in the earth’s past when extreme climate conditions existed. Dramatic changes in the earth’s climate have resulted from natural variations in solar insolation, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, rates and pathways of ocean circulation, plate tectonics, and the evolution of vascular plants and, in modern times, the burning of fossil fuels. The impact of these factors on climate through interactions between the atmosphere, oceans and land will be evaluated.

Look to Timothy Walsworth’s FISH 101: Water and Society for an excellent introductory course focusing on freshwater and society.

Professor John Horne teaches about the “Ultimate ‘tails’ of sex, growth, and death in extreme conditions” in the FISH 437 course this winter. What’s not to like?

Join the academic advisers for Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, Oceanography and Marine Biology for an informational session about courses, majors and minors related to marine and aquatic science. This includes the study of life in all aquatic environments, ocean engineering, conservation of marine resources, and impacts of global climate change. Light refreshments will be provided.

Learn more about what spending a quarter studying full time in the San Juan Islands can mean for you. Courses are available for students starting their exploration of marine biology up to senior undergraduates. Meet some of our teaching faculty and learn how to apply and fund your quarter at ‘FHL’.

Join us in Woods Hole for Fall 2017! Conduct research in state-of-the-art facilities and learn about the ocean from leaders in ocean science and engineering. The Semester at WHOI (SAW) program is for juniors and seniors who are interested in obtaining an advanced degree in ocean sciences, ocean engineering or related fields in the geosciences. The program features a semester-long, for-credit research project overseen by a WHOI scientist or engineer, as well as the opportunity to take graduate-level courses modified for undergraduate credit.

I am pleased announce that I will be offering the following three classes this summer at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. The labs for each class involve research-based, hands-on techniques as the students participate in research studies focused upon each group of marine animals.
