Oceanography 100 SLOs A successful student should be able to meet the following Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs): (scheduled for Fall 2017) Describe characteristic processes and landforms associated with tectonic plate boundaries Compare and contrast the oceanic and atmospheric characteristics of El Niño and La Niña Describe the seasonal pattern of phytoplankton productivity for tropical, middle latitude, and polar oceans

D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Regional productivity varies mostly because of the development of a thermocline SmartFigure 5.27a, page 162 Low latitudes When a thermocline develops, it prevents the mixing of deeper, nutrient-rich waters from below Let’s consider 3 ocean regions, all open ocean (e.g. far from land)
D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Use a single line on the graph at top part of handout only! ...then hold up paper to show me Handout #1 Polar or high-latitude oceans: >60º north/south latitude Figure 13.18, page 420
What primary productivity in polar regions actually looks like… Handout #1 Phytoplankton Zooplankton
What primary productivity in polar regions actually looks like… Phytoplankton Figure 13.19a, page 421 Zooplankton
D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Polar or high-latitude oceans: >60º north/south latitude The length of day really varies, so it’s sunlight (not nutrients) that limits productivity Get incredible productivity during the spring/summer on land, too Figure 13.18, page 420
D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Handout #2 As before, use a single line on the graph at top part of handout only! ...then hold up paper to show me Tropical or low-latitude oceans: 0-30º north/south latitude Figure 13.18, page 420
What primary productivity in tropical regions actually looks like… Handout #2 Phytoplankton Zooplankton
What primary productivity in tropical regions actually looks like… Figure 13.20, page 422 Phytoplankton Zooplankton
D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Tropical or low-latitude oceans: 0-30º north/south latitude There’s good sunlight year-round, so it’s the lack of nutrients caused by a strong, permanent thermocline that limits productivity “A barren wasteland” except: Equatorial upwelling Coastal upwelling Coral reefs
D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Temperate or middle latitude oceans: 30-60º north/south latitude Work with your Success Team on Middle Latitude Oceanic Productivity worksheet (handout) Hint: Sunlight varies with the season; when a thermocline develops, it cuts off nutrients. Both of these factors affect productivity!

D. Regional Oceanic Productivity Now let’s work in Success Teams and use the voting envelopes to answer 6 sample exam questions Do NOT write these questions down or take any pictures! Open book and open notes Discuss with your Success Team before voting
Sample Exam Questions: Middle Latitude Productivity 1. In the middle latitude oceans, productivity of marine algae increases during the spring because the amount of sunlight is increasing a strong thermocline develops the length of nighttime is increasing there is an abundance of grazers at that time
2. In the middle latitude oceans, there is a/an __________ of nutrients during the spring because _______________. increase; the days are getting shorter decrease; they are getting used up by phytoplankton increase; that is when spring tides occur decrease; the water column is isothermal
3. Consider the middle latitude oceans 3. Consider the middle latitude oceans. During the winter, the supply of sunlight is __________, and the supply of nutrients is __________. maximized; maximized maximized; minimized minimized; maximized minimized; minimized
4. In the middle latitude oceans, the time of highest algae productivity is during winter spring summer fall
5. In the middle latitude oceans, there is a well-developed thermocline during the winter spring summer fall
6. Which of the following statements best describes the productivity of phytoplankton biomass in tropical oceans? Tropical oceans have high levels of productivity in summer Tropical oceans have high levels of productivity year-round Tropical oceans have high levels of productivity in the spring and fall Tropical oceans have low levels of productivity year-round

Oceanography 100 Lecture Instructor’s Meeting For 2018 Do Wind Belts worksheet (Chapter 6) Do Coastal Stabilization Structures exercise (Ch. 10)
Case Study: Coastal Stabilization Structures Need: Case Study Handout Rules: Closed book (starting now!); but you can use notes Do a class “Popcorn Reading” for Page 1 You will be assigned a group (#1 - #7) Each group: Draw a picture of their character’s idea on the board or a large sticky-note (make it big!) Each group will present their character’s idea Now, individually rank each character’s idea Do a “Wall Walk” to indicate your choices
Case Study Answer: Santa Monica, California See Figure 10.26 (page 314) Dredge Breakwater destroyed by waves in 1983 Before breakwater (1931) After breakwater (1949)
