BIOL 53 Aquatic Ecology

The study of interactions between biological communities and their freshwater environment. Lecture and readings provide the scientific background necessary for understanding the physical, chemical and biological dynamics of freshwater habitats. Emphasis is placed on application of fundamental concepts to problems in conservation and management of aquatic ecosystems. The laboratory and fieldwork, including a weekend field trip during the first week of classes, will acquaint students with modern methodological approaches for studying aquatic ecosystems.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
