4500 Experimental Marine Ecology

A two-week intensive course that examines the ecology of cold oceans, focussing on energy flux through Newfoundland waters, and how the dynamics of this environment influence linkages among organisms in different habitats.


The course is field and lab intensive, with lectures and a strong hands-on component. Students will collect field samples, identify local organisms from the plankton or the benthos, plan and conduct an experiment, and learn to interpret and present the gathered results. This course is offered during two weeks of the Spring or Fall semesters.
