Course Contents

Marine ecosystems are not in a steady state, but are affected by the environment, climate, etc. They effect ocean biogeochemistry and marine ecosystems. This lesson will include currents, upwelling, meso- and submeso-scale eddies, biogeochemical, and biological properties (e.g., heat, nutrients, oxygen, dissolved carbon, etc.), marine and fresh water environments and its interactions with atmosphere.
