The distance learning program at the Oceanographic Center of Nova
Southeastern University is excited to announce a new online 3-credit graduate
course, Archaeological Oceanography: Reefs
and Wrecks. This course brings together the human
history of exploration of the seas through navigation with ocean forces and
features, most notably storms. When ships are lost-at-sea, and shoreline cities
are submerged, human exploration and salvage interests are common. Legal
battles are common. Elements of concern include stewardship of natural and
cultural resource plus conservation and research of artifacts.
The course instructor, Dr. Clarice M. Yentsch, conducted national and
international oceanographic research for 20 years and more recently has worked
as a consultant with the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, the
Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.
and was Curator of Education at the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum in Key
West from 2002 to 2008. She is presently working with the
Archaeological Oceanography: Reefs
and Wrecks will premier in the Fall 2 term of study (October
19th – December 11th, 2009).
Registration is now open. The course may be taken as a stand-alone, or
for credit towards either of two Graduate Certificates or the distance MS in
Coastal Zone Management. For more information, please visit our website
