A&O SCI CM114
Aquatic Geomicrobiology
Description: (Same as Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences CM114.) Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Recommended requisite: course M105 or Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences C107. Fundamental geomicrobiological metabolisms and biogeochemical reactions occurring in aquatic systems, how they impact their environment, and how they interact in complex ecosystems such as methane seeps, hydrothermal vents, coral reefs, microbial mats, or deep biosphere. Metabolisms include different photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, and chemoautotrophic pathways. Interpretation of geochemical profiles and understanding of how microorganisms govern mineralization and element cycling in aquatic systems. Concurrently scheduled with course CM237. P/NP or letter grading.

Spring 2022 - Professor Treude was a great professor for CM114. Although I received a B, that was mostly due to senioritis and not her specifically. She is a great professor who is very passionate about the subject. Her tests were a bit difficult (some questions were extremely specific), but they were mostly fair. She is a very kind person, and she offered 10% EC which is graded on a pass/no pass basis. There is a midterm, final, and 4 homework sets, but the lowest homework grade is dropped. I would also recommend going to office hours, as some of the material can get tricky (especially the ANAMMOX stuff). Overall, I would recommend her class!
