Oceanography

This lab manual provides students with hands-on experience studying Oceanography in a lab setting. The exercises provide instructional content for working with marine geographic terminology, and for studying various oceanic bodies and concepts including plate tectonics, marine sediments, currents, coastal processes, waves, and ocean productivity. Several labs also focus on general properties of Earth's oceans like the physical and chemical properties of water, climate change, and ocean acidification. The nine labs in this manual are printed in color and have perforated pages for students to tear out and turn in.
