Harvard FAS

We will explore the fundamentals of marine biology, and in doing so, learn about the complex lifestyles of organisms whose home spans three quarters of our planet. We will take a process-driven approach, focusing first on the fundamentals: the interrelated processes of marine physiology, ecology, and evolution. What biological processes help organisms succeed in the marine environment? How do species traits vary throughout the different environments in the world’s oceans? How do gradual…
