Course Description:

To understand the life that lives in our oceans, we need to understand those oceans and the processes which take place in them.
This module will introduce students to the world's oceans, covering the physical, chemical and biological makeup of the open seas. Topics will consider the formation of the ocean basins, how water moves around these basins and the variations in the ocean's environment which dictate what life can live where. We will also consider long term changes in our environment and the impact that humans are having on this. Through four practical exercises, students will gain hands on experience with oceanographic instrumentation in the laboratory and at sea.
