ESS 148F: Ecology Research in the Field and Lab
Units: 4
A semi-structured course-based undergraduate research experience that will allow students to learn how to apply and extend ecological concepts to the field and lab. This course focuses on the practice of ecology, including natural history observations, fieldwork, quantitative reasoning, designing investigations, working collaboratively, and communication. Students will first be introduced to common tools of ecology and different modes of ecological inquiry, then in small teams will design, implement, analyze, and present their own research project. Through these activities, students will extend their understanding of core ecological concepts, human-environment interactions, and cross-cutting themes in ecology.
