CHEM 301 - Marine Chemistry

Credit Hours: 2
Frequency of Offering: Offered annually in the spring semester

This course will introduce students to the natural chemical systems of the hydrosphere. These systems become the backdrop by which aquatic ecosystems thrive. The hydrosphere also plays a significant role in the transport of matter and energy around the world which drives climate and food production. Students will study ocean-atmospheric interactions, circulation patterns, and major chemical processes in both fresh and saltwater systems. This course is approved as an elective in the Marine Science Curriculum.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 106.
