MARN 4420 - Marine Biogeochemistry w/Lab

Prerequisites: CHEM 1115, CHEM 1116, CHEM 1117, CHEM 1118, MARN 3300. Corequisite: MARN 4421 - you must enroll in a section of MARN 4421 before you can enroll in MR 420 A comprehensive study of the biogeochemistry of marine waters and sediments. Emphasis will be on biogeochemical cycling of key elements in marine and estuarine ecosystems and their role in global processes. Chemical analysis and field collection techniques together with experimentation into the partioning of chemical species among sediment, water, and biota will be conducted in the laboratory portion of the class. Laboratory fee. 4 credits
