This site features the home page for an oceanography course taught by William Prothero at UCSB. The course emphasizes the role that the ocean plays in the earth's climate system, not only as a producer of food and source of recreation, but as a transporter of heat energy, sink for greenhouse gases, and moderator of the climate. Links to the course outline, lectures, lab assignments, a question of the day, and many other topical scientific resources are also provided.
