Applied Data Analysis in Marine Science
OverviewWhat to expect This course provides students with skills for experimental design, data analysis, and scientific inference. An applied approach will be taken, with data analysis methods being implemented with the statistics programming language R. Aspects of data analysis that will be covered include data management, data visualization, programming, and statistics. Statistics topics will include…
Animal Structure & Function
OverviewWhat to expect This course is an introduction to principles underlying how animals are 'designed'. Topics to be covered include: 'tree thinking' (how to place animals and their parts into a phyolgenetic context), scaling (mechanical and physiological consequences of body size), an introduction to fluid dynamics (life at low and high Reynold's number, surface tension,…
Marine Population Ecology & Dynamics
OverviewWhat to expect Overview: This field and laboratory course explores fundamental theories in marine ecology at the population, community, and ecosystem levels of biological organization. Students will read relevant literature, mainly from temperate Pacific nearshore regions, to learn about the key ecological theories that have been developed in, and applied to, marine environments. Topics explored…
