Recent Advances in Limnology & Oceanography Seminar

"Lake and Ocean Observatories: Issues and Technologies"

BioSci 611 U/G seminar (2 Credits)
Coordinators: J. Berges () & A. Brooks ()

The seminar will consider techniques and technologies being used to answer questions about aquatic ecosystems and how they will respond to environmental changes. Talks by speakers will alternate with student presentations.

The course runs Thursday evenings 7:30-9:00pm; speakers give their talks at the Great Lakes WATER Institute (600 E. Greenfield Ave), and the student discussions take place in Lapham Hall 181.
