MACS 211 - Introduction to Marine and Coastal Science This course is intended to help you understand the complex processes and interactions that occur in marine and coastal systems from estuaries to the open ocean. We will explore and connect diverse topics in biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography ranging from tectonics to ocean acidification to estuarine circulation to habitat diversity. Much of this exploration will take place through hands-on learning and applied experiences that take advantage of the rich environments of the Salish Sea, including a more in-depth analysis of the data that students collected during their one-week residential stay at Shannon Point Marine Center during their participation in MACS 110. In addition to fundamental science, this course will also discuss the foundational concepts in research design and scientific communication.
Prerequisites & Notes: MACS 110 and Marine and Coastal Science major status. Credits: 3 Grade Mode: Letter
