Material Detail

This free and open online course in Oceanography was produced by the WA State Board for Community & Technical Colleges [http://sbctc.edu/].

Planet Earth's Ocean covers over 70% of its surface, yet oceanographic research has only recently come to its full potential with the advent of new technologies. This course emphasizes the need to understand geologic, chemical, physical and biological processes or features that occur in ocean environments. It is designed to be thorough enough to prepare you for more advanced work, while presenting the concepts to non-majors in a way that is meaningful and not overwhelming.
