| Description: | ENS-201-01=GHL-219-02 This course will apply ecology to specific environmental issues and study the practice of ecological research. Lecture sessions of the course will focus on: advanced ecological topics, such as wetland ecology, fire ecology, and invasive species; the research process, such as critically evaluating literature and study design; and Indigenous perspectives on ecology and the environment. Special attention will be given to a case study of the globally significant Everglades ecosystem of Florida, including its function and relationship to humans. Over Spring Break, there will be an immersion trip to a biological research station and the Everglades National Park in Florida, where students will continue to learn and to apply their knowledge. Students should be open to camping during the trip, for which necessary supplies will be provided. Enrollment is by instructor permission only; interested students must contact the instructor to apply to this course. Prior preparation for the course is required and should be described to the instructor, which may include previous environmental or scientific coursework. |
