BIOL 816 - Wetlands: Hydrology, Ecology, Restoration |
A study of wetlands and their role in the hydrology and ecology of global landscapes. Course
topics include the function of inland and coastal marshes, swamps and bogs in water and
nutrient cycles, and the role of wetlands in the support of biodiversity, from microbes to
vertebrates. The biological links between wetlands and human activities, such as agriculture,
coastal development, and fisheries, and the legal framework for the protection and restoration
of endangered wetlands are also examined. This course is offered through the Marine Studies
Consortium, and is taught at an off-campus location. Additional course fees apply. Prerequisites:
One year of introductory science (e.g. biology, geology, chemistry, or engineering) and
two upper level (elective) science courses.
