ELS201: Introduction to Marine Science

Field Excursion: (Friday to Sunday) Jervis Bay

Understanding the marine environment requires a basic knowledge of biological, physical, geological and chemical processes and how they interact. Increasingly, it also encompasses an understanding of the way marine resources can be exploited, and sustainably managed. In this unit we examine the fundamental processes driving marine systems, starting with the marine geosphere, the marine hydrosphere, the marine biosphere and finishing with an overview of marine resources and conservation. There is a compulsory field excursion.
