BY 340L - Island Microcosms Lab *

(1)
This laboratory experience will give students practical experience in field observation and investigation techniques in an island ecosystem. BY 340L accompanies an interdisciplinary course that focuses on both biological and anthropological issues that affect island communities. The impact of climate change, introduced species, increasing populations, and ecotourism on small island ecosystems will be investigated and discussed daily. For a portion of the field experience, students will participate in a service-learning project. Island art, music, and the history will also be seen through local collections and exhibitions. Students will be evaluated on proficiency in field identifications, participation, communication, and portfolio. Corequisite(s): BY 340
