INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY ARTHUR 
Physical description of the sea; physical properties of sea 
water; boundary processes including interaction between sea 
and atmosphere; principles of dynamics applied to motion and 
distribution of variables; methods of measurement with demon- 
stration at sea. 
INTRODUCTION TO DYNAMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY ARTHUR, COX 
Mechanics of fluids on a rotating earth; Napier-Stokes 
equations, boundary layer phenomena, turbulent flows, and 
wave motion with oceanographic applications. 
SUBMARINE GEOLOGY SHEPARD, INMAN 
The topography and sediments of the ocean floor, and their 
recent history; sedimentary processes as they affect the shore, 
continental shelf, and ocean floor; comparison between recent 
sediments and sedimentary rocks; the development of coral 
reefs. 
ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS CURRAY 
Lectures and laboratory study of methods of analysis and 
interpretation of sediments, especially grain-size distribu- 
tions and composition of the sand=-size fraction. 
BIOLOGY OF THE SEA 
An integrated survey course dealing with fundamental aspects 
of the biological economy of the sea; the explanation of bio= 
logically associated marine phenomena; and the interrelation 
of biological, chemical, and physical processes in the envir- 
onment. 
MARINE ORGANISMS McGOWAN 
Laboratory and discussion of the phylogeny, comparative morph= 
ology, life histories and taxonomy of marine organisms. 
Emphasis will be placed on plantonic groups.
