• BIOM 483: Wetland Ecology

  3.00 Credits

  East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  This structure and function of coastal wetland ecosystems are emphasized. The ecological impact of humans on these wetlands is interrelated with management strategies. Field exercises are stressed. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science field station at Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session. Since this course also is offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made. Prerequisites: Any two courses in biology with the exception of laboratory courses only.

• BIOM 489: Physiology of Marine Invertebrates

  3.00 Credits

  East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  Mechanisms and regulation of organ function in invertebrates with emphasis on homeostasis will be studied using live specimens from the marine environment. The unique adaptations of the marine invertebrates will be compared with general physiological principles. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science field station at Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session. Since this course also is offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements is made. Prerequisites: Any two courses in biology with the exception of laboratory courses only.

• BIOM 503: Comparative Physiology of Marine Organisms

  3.00 Credits

  East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course is an introduction to the physiology of marine organisms utilizing a comparative approach. A wide range of marine organisms will be used to demonstrate the variety of mechanisms and strategies that allow them to physiologically adapt to their specific environments. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science Consortium field station in Wallops Island, Va., only during the summer session.

• BIOM 504: Research Diver Methods in Marine Science

  3.00 Credits

  East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  Students in this course will study the marine environment with the use of SCUBA as a research tool. SCUBA will be used to collect samples, to measure the distribution of the flora and fauna, and to evaluate the productivity and biomass of select benthic communities. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science Consortium field station in Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session.
