Freshwater Ecology

Students learn about the ecology of lakes, streams and wetlands in this hands-on and field-oriented course. Through field trips, lectures, laboratory work, and demonstrations, I teach the dominant physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms determining the ecology of freshwater systems. Along the way, students also learn field sampling techniques and how to identify major aquatic organisms. The class also includes independent research and service learning.
