BIO-100J Explorations in Biology: Our Blue Planet
A thematic course exploring five fundamental features of all biological systems, including structure and function, information flow, energy and matter, interactions, and evolution. Marine habitats cover ~70% of the world’s surface and host the greatest range of animal life forms on earth, yet ~95% of our oceans remain unexplored. This course examines how marine species function, their interactions with each other and their environment, and their organization into communities and ecosystems. We will explore threats to ocean life, and regulatory and non-governmental efforts towards its conservation.
