MACS 493: Advanced Marine and Coastal Science Research
Students will engage in group research projects, building on the knowledge and skills they have developed during their course of study. The instructor will guide students through a study of what is already known, planning, implementation, and analysis of results. Research topics vary from year to year, but will be interdisciplinary in nature, encouraging students who have focused in different areas of marine science to contribute and learn from each other. S/U grading.
Offered in 10 of the 26 listed terms (Fall 2022 to Fall 2026).
