NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
ESTUARINE OCEANOGRAPHY PRITCHARD 
Physical and chemical properties of estuarine waters, 
including the kinematics and dynamics of motion. Classi- 
fication of estuaries by geomorphological and oceanographic 
parameters. 
ADVANCED THEORETICAL OCEANOGRAPHY PRITCHARD 
A review of the current literature on the theoretical 
aspects of physical and meteorological oceanography. 
Chemical Oceanography

CHEMISTRY OF SEA WATER CARPENTER 
The composition of sea water; the carbon dioxide system; 
nutrients; laboratory work dealing with the chemical 
methods of analysis in routine use in oceanography; 
assembly and correlation of chemical data. 
ADVANCED CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY CARPENTER 
Detailed examination of the chemical and physico-chemical 
aspects of the nutrient systems, the interaction between 
the bottom and overlying water, and of minor constituents. 
Review of modern analytical methods with limited laboratory 
work.

MARINE ECOLOGY TAYLOR 
General survey of the populations in marine and estuarine 
waters. The relationships of physical, chemical and 
biological factors of the environment to these organisms 
is discussed. Limited field work included. Permission of 
instructor required for undergraduate students. 
BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY TAYLOR 
Consideration of the sea and estuaries as biological 
environments. Emphasis is placed on marine microbiology, 
especially phytoplankton and zooplankton. Selected topics 
in algal physiology and nutrition, biochemistry of photo- 
synthesis, primary productivity in marine waters, and 
bottom communities and their relation to the plankton are 
discussed. The course is designed for students intending 
to pursue advanced studies in the biological or chemical 
phases of oceanography.
