Volume 1: The Ocean Environment

This workbook provides a rigorous introduction to the physical, geological, and dynamic systems governing the marine environment. Students will analyze tectonic activity, map seafloor bathymetry, and investigate wave mechanics, tidal ranges, and global current circulation through data-driven laboratory exercises.

Volume 2: Marine Ecology

Focusing on biological connections, biomes, and critical environmental challenges, this workbook explores the delicate balance of marine life. Students will model complex food webs, analyze ocean carbon equilibrium, and investigate modern ecological stressors, including estuary survival, trophic cascades, and coral bleaching.
