Welcome to Hawaii and C-MORE Hale • Introductions • The Who’s, the Where’s, and the What’s • Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) • The Agouron Institute • The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation • The National Science Foundation • School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology • University of Hawaii • Daniela Böttjer, Tara Clemente, Ken Doggett, Brett Updyke, Sharon Sakamoto, and Georgia Tanaka

  2. The University of Hawaii Campus: Get to know your surroundings Learn Eat Sleep Eat Buildings to know: C-MORE Hale, Frear Hall, Campus Center

  3. Microbial Oceanography:Genomes to Biomes • Survey of contemporary topics in Microbial Oceanography • Includes training in introduction to oceanography, biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, -omics, modeling

  4. Ecology and biogeochemistry Genomes and metagenomics Microbial diversity, biomass, and functional activity Observations and models Light flux (mmol quanta m-2 s-1)

  5. Week 4-5 (June 20-30) • LAB ANALYSES • (Björkman, Böttjer, Church, Clemente, Doggett, Rappé, Steward, Updyke) • Week 6 (July 1-July 6): • MICROBIAL OCEANOGRAPHY IN THE 21ST CENTURY • (Chisholm, Follows, Johnson, Schofield, Böttjer, Church, Karl, Rappé, Steward) • July 6: STUDENT SYMPOSIUM AND FAREWELL • (All of you) Schedule • Week 1 (May 29-June 2): MICROBES AS DRIVERS OF BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES (Bronk, Chisholm, Gasol, Repeta, White, Böttjer, Church, Karl, Rappé, Steward) • Week 2 (June 4-9): MICROBIAL OCEANOGRAPHY: GENOMES TO BIOMES (Allen, Chisholm, DeLong, Kyrpides, Waterbury, Zehr, Böttjer, Church, Karl, Rappé, Steward) • Week 3-4 (June 11-20): RESEARCH CRUISE (Björkman, Böttjer, Church, Clemente, Doggett, Rappé, Updyke, Waterbury)
