CEE 50N: Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives on a Large Urban Estuary: San Francisco Bay (EARTHSYS 49N, EESS 49N)
This course will be focused around San Francisco Bay, the largest estuary on the Pacific coasts of both North and South America as a model ecosystem for understanding the critical importance and complexity of estuaries. Despite its uniquely urban and industrial character, the Bay is of immense ecological value and encompasses over 90% of California's remaining coastal wetlands. Students will be exposed to the basics of estuarine biogeochemistry, microbiology, ecology, hydrodynamics, pollution, and ecosystem management/restoration issues through lectures, interactive discussions, and field trips. Knowledge of introductory biology and chemistry is recommended.

CEE 73: Understanding Water: Tools and Approaches from Science and Engineering
Water physics and chemistry shape our world. Without water there is no life, no biology. This class provides an introduction to these basic sciences as applied to water and considers how they interact to give water its critical role in the processes that sustain, and sometimes poison, our planet. We will explore both the natural world and the engineered systems critical to civilization.
