This course examines the ecology of tropical and
subtropical ecosystems (coral reefs, mangroves,
tropical rainforests, etc) with an emphasis on
the physical, chemical, and biological
organization of each system-including the
physiological adaptations of organisms. The
course will also introduce students to field
biology techniques (e.g., field sampling,
journaling, etc.). Field study locations include
but are not limited to: Australia, Hawaii, and
Belize. Students will complete an independent
field research project suitable for presentation
at a professional meeting. Students selected
based upon a competitive application process as
well as completed prerequisite course work.
