ATOC 6020, Fall 2008

ATOC 6020: Oceanography Seminar
Or, The Ocean Left Colorado 60 Million Years Ago, but Oceanography Didn't!
This is a weekly seminar covering topics in oceanography and ocean-focused climate science. Presentations will feature campus and Boulder scientists on notable developments in ocean science. University of Colorado graduate students can enroll in the ATOC 6020 seminar for 1 credit per semester.

Participation is not limited to enrolled students. All interested students (graduate and undergraduate), faculty, researchers, Boulder-area oceanographers, visitors, and alumni are encouraged to attend and present.

You can access the syllabus, class notes and calendar, reading, and class files.

Class Meetings and Notes

All meetings will be in Duane E126 at 4PM on Mondays, unless noted

Registered students are required to email a writeup of each talk to me by Friday at 7PM. The writeups should include a summary, strengths, weaknesses, and brainstorming sections.
