NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 321 
Graduate courses to which qualified upperclassmen are admitted: 
201. PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY KNAUSS 
Basic course covering all aspects of physical oceanography. 
Physical properties of sea water, heat budget, distribution 
of variables, dynamics, water masses and general circulation. 
Waves, tides, history and interrelationships with other 
marine sciences. 
221. CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY SCHINK 
A study of the processes regulating the composition of sea 
water, and the distribution of chemical species. The inter- 
action of marine chemistry with the ocean floor, atmosphere, 
and marine organisms. 
241. GEOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY McMASTER 
Brief survey of marine geology and its relationships to other 
marine sciences. Growth and destruction of beaches, physical 
characteristics of continental terraces and theories as to 
their origin, major features of the vast ocean basins, such 
as coral reefs, ridges and deeps, and influence of these fea- 
tures on currents and life and sources and distribution of 
marine sediments. 
242. PETROGRAPHY OF MARINE SEDIMENTS McMASTER 
Principles of sedimentary petrology applied to study of 
recent marine sediments. Major emphasis on methods of an- 
alysis and presentation of analytical data. Processes that 
lead to deposition of these sediments and environmental 
forces acting on them once deposited. 
243. SEMINAR IN DEEP-SEA GEOLOGY KRAUSE 
Class discussion of selected topics in deep-sea geology based 
on extensive reading in the scientific literature. A research 
paper by each student and lectures will supplement the dis- 
cussions. 
261. BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY PRATT AND FISH 
Nature of life in the sea; adaptations, patterns of distri- 
bution, and production of plankton, nekton and benthos, their 
interrelationships and interaction with the environment.
