BIOL 419 - Seminar: Global Change Ecology

FC NSMA QFR WADV

4 credits
Global Change Ecology is the study of how human activity and altered natural processes influence the relationship between species and their environment and the impact this has on biodiversity and the environment. In this seminar, students will learn about the ecological impacts associated with the planetary boundaries and five key issues of global change through student-led discussions of the primary literature. During the semester, students will also work on independent projects related to our discussions through literature and/or data analysis and present those projects in written reports and oral presentations at the end of the semester. Reserved for third years and higher.

Prerequisites: BIOL 210/211 or BIOL 223/224.
