9 courses with the subject OCEA, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
3 class hours, 3 credits. Topics include: Earth structure, plate tectonics, marine provinces, marine sediment, seawater chemistry and density structure, atmospheric circulation, oceanic circulation, waves, tides, coasts, marine productivity and energy. SUNY-GER: Natural Sciences (with OCEA 102). [Spring]
2 laboratory hours, 1 credit. This is the laboratory course that accompanies OCEA 101 General Oceanography. This hands- on laboratory course is designed to familiarize students with the concepts and techniques associated/introduced in the lecture. SUNY-GER: Natural Sciences (with OCEA 101). [Spring]
3 class hours, 3 credits. Topics include: Heat budget of earth and ocean, wind-driven surface ocean circulation, hydrostatics, equation of state of seawater, equations of motion, geostrophic flow, Ekman transport, vorticity, major current systems, regional oceanography, thermohaline circulation and water masses, waves, tides.
3 class hours, 3 credits. This course will discuss coastal oceanographic processes, the formation of coastal landscapes, and coastal change. Topics include: wave dynamics, sediment transport, coastal geomorphology, coastal resources, climate change, coastal hazards, and coastal restoration and management. Emphasis will be placed on characterizing coastal settings and applying appropriate coastal zone management practices that minimize the impacts of coastal change. [Spring]

3 class hours, 3 credits. Chemical oceanography, chemical and biological processes affecting gases, nutrients and trace metals in seawater, seawater composition, oceanic distribution of chemical species, carbon an nutrient cycling, redox reactions on seawater, diagenesis, hydrothermal vents, marine organic chemistry [Spring - Odd Years]
3 laboratory hours, 1 credit. Introduction to analytical chemistry of seawater; analyses of salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved nutrients in seawater; applications of seawater analyses to gas solubility, primary productivity and air/sea exchange of gases in a variety of marine environments. [Spring – Odd
3 class hours, 3 credits. Focus will be on selected anthropogenic non-pollution-related impacts on the ocean environment including exploitation of marine energy resources. [Fall – Even Year
3 class hours, 3 credits. Theoretical and/or experimental investigation of contemporary topics or problems in oceanography. 2024-25 Undergraduate Course 88
