Designed to foster an understanding of conservation and restoration strategies in the nearshore marine system using a real-world case study approach. Students collect and analyze historical and newly collected data and use this to inform a conservation and restoration plan within the context of local, state, and federal laws. Uses real-world examples (such as aquaculture, seagrass restoration, and shoreline hardening) to build ecological goals. Seeks to build understanding and appreciation of the input of all stakeholders, including that of marginalized groups. Offers students an opportunity to produce a high-level and annotated deliverable that could serve as a template for real-world use.

Presents experimental design, sampling methodology, statistical analysis, techniques, and the use of underwater equipment to conduct subtidal research.
Provides an overview of ecological and evolutionary genomics. Covers foundational mathematical concepts in population in quantitative genetics, from individual loci up to whole genomes. Concepts covered include Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, F statistics, signatures of natural selection in genomes and methods for detecting them, analysis of quantitative genetic evolution, hybridization, and gene expression. Also covers modern statistical methods used to analyze genomic data using the free and open source R programming environment. Builds knowledge through reading of the primary literature and advanced problem sets. The final project requires students to complete a novel data analysis of an open source genomics data set and write a research paper.
Focuses on wildlife ecology and management, with an emphasis on terrestrial species. Covers habitat use, behavior, wildlife conservation, parasites and pathogens, wildlife sampling, wildlife management, food and nutrition, population viability, and conservation genetics. Engages students in analyzing primary literature and wildlife data, collection, interpretation, and using basic mathematical models.
Offers students an opportunity to lead critical discussions of recent and classic papers from primary and secondary literature in marine sciences. Discusses the important scientific paradigms and addresses strengths and weaknesses of these papers from the perspective of scientific communication, including design and presentation of data in figures and tables; the role of synthesis in justifying new concepts; and how terminology and jargon evolve in scientific subdisciplines. Students write occasional reviews of these papers as if they had just been submitted to a journal for consideration.
Presents an overview of major concepts in ecology and evolution with the goal of integrating them into a common synthetic framework. Examines major areas of evolution, focusing on how selection, phenotypic plasticity, speciation, mutation, and drift cause spatiotemporal changes in populations. Explores key concepts in ecology in the second half of the course. Emphasizes their historical underpinnings and utility for understanding modern ecology. Discusses different frameworks and their potential strengths and weaknesses for promoting integration between ecology and evolution.
Explores key papers that have shaped modern theory, methodologies, and practices of sustainability science. Sustainability science hinges on integrating social and ecological sciences to assess the sustainability of human-environment interactions. From the social science dimension, many past studies focused on understanding how values, beliefs, and social norms shape human behavior. From an ecological perspective, much work focused on the influence of various institutional arrangements on resource and environmental sustainability. Importantly, a coupled natural-human or social-ecological systems (SES) perspective focuses on the inherently dynamic nature of these systems and interactions.
Exposes graduate students pursuing a PhD in marine and environmental sciences to classical and recent high-impact papers in the fields of recent and deep earth history, landform evolution, microbes and their role in global biogeochemical cycling, nutrient stoichiometry, the global carbon cycle, geochemical proxies, evolution of ocean chemistry, oceanic acidification, the role of organisms in sediment and rock production, and geochemical paleoproxies. Examines applications of the above disciplines to mitigating the impacts of anthropogenic impacts on the Earth system. This is a guided readings course.
Offers an opportunity to design and implement a scientifically rigorous independent research project that builds upon current knowledge from the primary literature, under the supervision of a faculty advisor from the program. Students conduct research at any of the program’s locations and are then required to analyze data using rigorous statistical methods, write a journal-style research paper, and present their results in a research seminar. May be repeated once.
Designed to prepare PhD students with a concentration in marine sciences for a career in their field by offering an opportunity to learn fundamental aspects of the discipline through readings. Each student works with their Northeastern committee members at their first committee meeting to identify one reading topic per committee member. Committee members provide guidance for the student’s readings around their topic. Students meet with each committee member throughout the semester to discuss the readings, ask questions, and clarify any aspects of their topics.
