CORE, MNS 191. Seminar in Marine Science: Scientific Communication.
Instructor: Biggs.
Recent advances in the marine sciences, discussed by students, faculty and staff members, and guest lecturers.
Advanced, MNS 193. Marine Organic Chemistry.
Instructor: Liu.
The study of the transformations of organic matter from its origins in biological organisms through its preservation in marine environments. This course will introduce you to the field of marine organic geochemistry and its applications to understanding the sources and fates of organic matter in the water column of marine systems as well as that deposited in modern and ancient sediments. The course will be a combination of lectures and discussions.

Advanced, MNS 382. Marine Community Ecology.
Instructor: Brandl.
This course aims to provide students with a holistic understanding of the assembly and functioning of marine communities. Students will learn about existing and emerging theories and concepts in community ecology and gain insight into traditional and modern techniques to study marine communities, from visual censuses to molecular approaches. The course includes quantitative training and practical components using the statistical software R, designed to foster an understanding of basic statistical concepts in community ecology and their thoughtful implementation.

Advanced, MNS 382. Estuarine Ecology.
Instructors: Dunton and Lever.
Offered during the May Term (part of the Spring Semester). Class meets the entire month of May and is co-listed with the undergraduate course, Estuarine Ecology, MNS 352C. The course content includes the general ecological principles of estuarine environments in Texas, including physiography hydrography, and plant and animal community structure and productivity. There is a substantial field component that includes two or three major field trips. The course also includes two flags, for inquiry and writing. Graduate students are expected to write a major research paper, present a lecture to the class on a marine ecological topic of their choosing, and lead field expeditions.
