Marine Science and Oceanography , is the branch of Earth Sciences that studies the Earth's oceans and seas. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries.As our planet's natural resources face continuing pressure, conservation becomes ever more critical. With its vast expanse and great depths, the largest and most ancient of ecosystems, the planet's oceans, are little understood.
Students successfully completing the program may select to transfer directly to sister universities through in-place articulation agreements. Former Colorado Northwestern students are currently schooling at University of Hawaii Manoa and University of Hawaii Hilo. Current students plan transfers to Hawaii Pacific University.

I hold a Master of Science in Environmental Biology from Governor State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology Education from Olivet Nazarene University. I have been privileged to serve in a number of capacities such as township cartographer and public speaker. My article, GIS in problem -- based curriculum, appears in the Illinois Science Teachers Association Magazine where I hope it encourages classroom incorporation of GIS technology. I have wide-ranging research interests from apiculture and entomology through botany and GIS science. One of my goals is to encourage students to preserve natural areas through hands-on appreciation, documentation, and analyses. Another is to provide GIS training and access to students, business, and the general public.
I am blessed to have my wife of 26 yrs joining me on this great adventure and am leaving behind 2 adult children, Etty and Beth Stanley. I have resided in IL for all my life until now. I enjoy camping, climbing, boating, hiking, etc. My hobbies include making fine furniture and blacksmithing. I'm a member of the First Presbyterian church of Wilmington and bugler for VFW post #5422.
