Explores theories of the large-scale ocean, including quasigeostrophic, planetary geostrophic, and shallow water equations. Topics may vary to focus on ocean climate (e.g. thermocline, westward intensification), ocean waves (e.g. gravity, Rossby, and Kelvin), or ocean models (toy, analytic, and numerical). Maybe repeated up to 9 total credit hours. Prereqs., ATOC 5400 and ATOC 5051 or 5060 or equivalent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Lectures in physical inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on topics for understanding modern solar energy conversion to electricity and fuels. Includes a description of bonding and properties of coordination compounds in terms of the ligand field and molecular orbital theories. The primary research literature will be used to motivate exploration of relevant themes including spectroscopy, electron transfer, energy transfer, bioenergetic conversion, and small-molecule activation. Prereqs., CHEM 4011 and graduate standing.

Same as CLAS 4061 and HIST 5061. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Same as HIST 4061 and CLAS 5061.

Intended for students with little to no art background. Focus is on the accurate rendering of scientific subjects for publication and for public display. Course begins with basic drawing skills and sharpening of visual perception. Students progress to be able to produce realistic renderings of subjects. Students are exposed to a variety of black and white and color techniques and the standards for presenting illustrations for a variety of audiences. Course concludes with computer illustration tools and techniques.

Study of live performance forms, theory, and literature throughout Asia: performance history, production styles, and social functions of performance. Background in theatre, dance, or Asian studies recommended. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Investigates selected aspects of rhythm, accompaniment, and musical resources for dance and applications to performance, choreography, and teaching. Topics may include movement analysis and rhythmic clarity, self-accompaniment, working with accompanist/composers, relationship of music to dance, and survey of 20th century compositional techniques. Prereq., dance/music experience, or instructor consent. Restricted to graduate students in dance. Prerequisites: Restricted to Dance graduate students only.

Surveys the history of the Iberian Peninsula from the late medieval period through early modern period. Explores the thought, art, politics, and socio-economic milieu of Spain during the Golden Age. Topics include attitudes toward minorities, the Inquisition, the establishment of a colonial empire, rituals, court culture and architecture, religious conflicts, and literary production. Prereq for HIST 4064., HIST 1010 or 1030. Same as HIST 5064. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Advanced study of theory and practice of stage directing through examination of the work of leading directors, analysis of texts, and classroom exercises. Prereq., previous directing course work and/or directing experience.

Same as NRSC 4072. Formerly PSYC 5072. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Same as ENGL 5059.

Algae are a non-monophyletic group of organisms that play critical roles in ecosystem structure and function. They have a long history of being used in a variety of ways by the human species, but are increasingly being applied to modern issues of understanding water quality and climate change, engineering at the nano scale and in the production of renewable biofuels. Same as EBIO 4080. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Introduces advanced groundwater flow and modeling concepts, equations for steady state and transient flow, saturated and unsaturated flow, finite difference method, application of modeling in geologic processes, radial flow and aquifer parameters, infiltration and groundwater recharge, model calibration, verification, and prediction. Prereqs., MATH 2300, Fortran, or instructor consent.

Prereq., graduate standing or instructor consent. Same as JPNS 4080.
