This course will examine the oceanographic-biological coupling occurring in the Arctic region, focusing on environmental conditions related to higher trophic levels and impacts of climate change. This course will extend the learning of the 3000-level course that examines biological oceanography, which focuses on the environmental factors that control primary production and lower trophic levels in the world's oceans [3 credits]
