EESS 231: Communicating Environmental Research Using Narratives and Stories (EARTHSYS 131, EARTHSYS 231, EESS 131)

Creative strategies by which earth scientists can overcome impediments to scientific literacy. Construction of stories and narratives out of research. The role of imagination and cognitive perception in environmental issues. Barriers and problems that arise in risk and science awareness. Connections between environmentalism and environmental science. Environmental issues in fictional narratives. The responsible function for earth scientists in public debates. Reflections on the role of science in current and future issues likely to involve members outside of science. Priority given to students seeking degrees in the School of Earth Sciences.

EESS 234: Stable Isotopes in Biogeochemistry (EESS 134)

Light stable isotopes and their application to geological, ecological, and environmental problems. Isotopic systematics of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur; chemical and biogenic fractionation of light isotopes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and rocks and minerals.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

EESS 241: Remote Sensing of the Oceans (EARTHSYS 141, EARTHSYS 241, EESS 141)

How to observe and interpret physical and biological changes in the oceans using satellite technologies. Topics: principles of satellite remote sensing, classes of satellite remote sensors, converting radiometric data into biological and physical quantities, sensor calibration and validation, interpreting large-scale oceanographic features.

EESS 242: Antarctic Marine Geology (EARTHSYS 272)

For upper-division undergraduates and graduate students. Intermediate and advanced topics in marine geology and geophysics, focusing on examples from the Antarctic continental margin and adjacent Southern Ocean. Topics: glaciers, icebergs, and sea ice as geologic agents (glacial and glacial marine sedimentology, Southern Ocean current systems and deep ocean sedimentation), Antarctic biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy (continental margin evolution). Students interpret seismic lines and sediment core/well log data. Examples from a recent scientific drilling expedition to Prydz Bay, Antarctica. Up to two students may have an opportunity to study at sea in Antarctica during Winter Quarter.

Instructors: Dunbar, R. (PI)

EESS 243: Marine Biogeochemistry (EESS 143)

(Graduate students register for 243.) Processes that control the mean concentration and distribution of biologically utilized elements and compounds in the ocean. Processes at the air-sea interface, production of organic matter in the upper ocean, remineralization of organic matter in the water column, and processing of organic matter in the sediments. Cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients; the role of the ocean carbon cycle in interannual to decadal variability, paleoclimatology, and the anthropogenic carbon budget.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3-4
Instructors: Arrigo, K. (PI)

EESS 244: Marine Ecosystem Modeling

Practical background necessary to construct and implement a 2-dimensional (space and time) numerical model of a simple marine ecosystem. Computer programming, model design and parameterization, and model evaluation. Students develop and refine their own multi-component marine ecosystem model.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

EESS 245: Advanced Biological Oceanography

For upper-division undergraduates and graduate students. Themes vary annually but include topics such as marine bio-optics, marine ecological modeling, and phytoplankton primary production. Hands-on laboratory and computer activities, and field trips into local waters. May be repeated for credit.
Last offered: Autumn 2008 | Repeatable for credit

EESS 246B: Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate Dynamics: the OceannnCirculation (EESS 146B)

Introduction to the physics governing the circulation of the atmospherennand ocean and their control on climate with emphasis on the large-scalennocean circulation. This course will give an overview of the structurennand dynamics of the major ocean current systems that contribute to thennmeridional overturning circulation, the transport of heat, salt, andnnbiogeochemical tracers, and the regulation of climate. Topics includennthe tropical ocean circulation, the wind-driven gyres and westernnnboundary currents, the thermohaline circulation, the AntarcticnnCircumpolar Current, water mass formation, atmosphere-ocean coupling,nnand climate variability. Prerequisites: EESS 146A/246A or CEE 164/262D or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
