A two-week intensive course in the field methods used to study marine ecosystems. The course will typically be given immediately after exams in the Winter semester (usually late April or early May). Students will learn field and laboratory techniques for sampling, experimentation, and analysis of marine organisms and ecosystems, and will carry out individual projects of their own design. Facilities such as the Bamfield Marine Station will be utilized, and a fee will be assessed to meet living expenses.
Prerequisite: BIOL 300, BIOL 302, BIOL 303. BIOL 215 recommended.
Note: BIOL 410 is offered on alternate years.
