[Biology-U-L] Looking for an upper divisiion EEMB course to round out your fall schedule?

Looking for an EEMB course to round out your fall schedule?  Space is 
still available in 

*EEMB 117,** Flow in Aquatic Ecosystems
3 units
** *

Aquatic organisms live in challenging environments. Their morphometry, 
ability to capture food and find mates depends on the flow environment. 
Aquatic ecosystems similarly depend upon flow as it determines fluxes of 
nutrients critical for growth, larval dispersal, food supply to attached 
organisms, and light for growth.  In this course, we survey basic 
principles of hydrodynamics critical for understanding impacts of flow 
on organisms and ecosystems.  We review case studies of physical- 
biological coupling in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal and open 
ocean environments. Instruction in the use of Matlab, a high performance 
computing and graphing language, is provided and includes problem 
solving for better understanding of key concepts.

Prerequisites:  EEMB    142ABC and 2 quarters of calculus (3AB or 34AB)

Lecture is held in North Hall 1109 M-W from 10-10:50 and laboratory is 
held on Wednesday from 12-3 in Psych. 1805.
