TOP REVIEWS FROM OCEANOGRAPHY: A KEY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND OUR WORLD
This is such an important course to understanding the world that we live in
Extremely insightful and enriching. I was particularly interested in the technical aspects of synoptic remote sensing and the equipment and technologies used for the same.
I learned a lot in this course and I think that the topics were very unique and interesting in a deep understanding and key to the relationship between the ocean and the world.
Fun and interesting. A wonderful review (I'm an ex pilot)
