Courses

Aquatic Ecological Research in Alaska

The goals of the course are to provide a small number of students with direct, hands-on training in the theories and techniques of research in aquatic ecology. We use the well-equipped field camps and diverse aquatic environments to give students formal course material (i.e., lectures and instruction manuals) and practical experience in the planning, design, and completion of research projects.
