TA Sarah Newell
GES 205 is offered as a seminar course, wherein we meet twice each week to discuss papers on current and exciting issues in the ocean sciences and oceanography. We will likely invite several guest speakers during the quarter. I'd like class participants to attend the Oceans Group Seminars at 3:30 on Tuesday afternoons whenever possible.
Here is the link to the Hopkins Marine Station Seminar for Fall 2005.
My perception of the group's wishes this quarter is that although we are diverse in our backgrounds, there is a majority interest in the areas of nutrient biogeochemistry, ocean circulation and physics and the connections to ocean ecology, and paleoceanography. I'd like to get input from all seminar participants....so start sending me relevant papers. Please e-mail me with ideas: dunbar@stanford.edu.
I am available for consultation outside of class every week. Please take advantage of this to tell me about your interests in oceanography so that I get to know you each individually.
An archival page showing the readings from the 2003 version of GES 205 is here. This is a good way to check through past assigned readings to see if you have the oceanographic background for an advanced oceanography seminar.
