EEMB 5538Conservation and Restoration of Marine Systems3

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.

EEMB 6465Ecological and Conservation Genomics4

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.

EEMB 7101Seminar in Marine Sciences2

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.

EEMB 7102Seminar in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology2

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.

EEMB 7103Seminar in Sustainability Sciences2

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.
