Marine Adaptations: Environmental Physiology

3 Credits

Focuses on the responses of species and habitats to stressors encountered in the marine environment, such as the physiological responses to salinity, hypoxia, ocean acidification, thermal stress, pollutants, nitrogen stress, UV radiation, and noise. Explore these physiological stressors as drivers of marine ecological processes in a wide array of marine habitats, as well as societal, economic, and management implications.
