Marine Geochemistry

The ocean is central to how our planet will respond to anthropogenic climate change, and understanding its chemistry unlocks a deeper look into that response.  This course is an introduction to that conversation, drawing from real world examples (marine CO2 uptake, coastal eutrophication, marine deoxygenation, the effects of mining, warming of the arctic, etc) and employs a variety of avenues for engagement. The class will include lectures, asynchronous video content, student-led modules, group work and discussions, all supported by a weekly section to dig deeper into key concepts.  Along the way, the class will cover basic chemical principles (thermodynamics, solubility, saturation, redox, etc.) and the cycling of key biogeochemical elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus) in and around the ocean.

Management Science for a New Era

The past decade has brought dynamism, complexity, and growth in health organizations, from integrated care delivery systems to multi-service nonprofits. As a result, healthcare work settings are increasingly fast paced, interdependent and uncertain – and COVID-19 has greatly intensified these trends. These conditions make management and organizational behavior ever more critical to performance. How can leaders help their organizations and teams to thrive in such dynamic settings? How can they simultaneously organize for tight execution and innovation, build resilience in the face of crisis, achieve influence amid limited authority, and treat people respectfully without burning out? These are questions of organizational behavior and theory.
