MEES699 section 0327
The Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) Seminar Series Directed Reading Course
Offered by: Elizabeth
North
This directed reading course is a 1-credit course designed to take advantage of a seminar series that is being sponsored at NOAA Headquarters (Silver Spring, MD) during which prominent GLOBEC scientists are reporting on major findings of the US GLOBEC program. The seminar speakers and titles are listed below. Students will read 3-4 relevant papers, watch a presentation by a GLOBEC scientist (which are being taped), then participate in a discussion of papers after the presentation. Before each seminar, students will be asked to read the assigned papers and come prepared with three questions that they would like to discuss. The seminar course will meet for one 2.5-hour session per week on the days listed below. Although this is course is numbered as a directed reading, it will count as a MEES seminar course. It is being held over the Interactive Video Network (conference ID 631109). Papers are posted on the password-protected participant's site (link underneath the GLOBEC symbol above). The last meeting on May 13 will be held at NOAA, Silver Spring, MD, where we will attend Dr. Peterson's lecture.
