INST - 5103 Tropical Ecology (3)


The course will integrate tropical ecology with current resource use practices, economics, and history of the Mayan culture in Belize. The central focus of the course will be ecological, with one week spent at a tropical rain forest field station and a second week spent on a barrier reef caye. The course will provide a broad-based overview of tropical ecosystems through “hands-on” experience and workshops dealing with such diverse subjects as climate, biodiversity, ethnology, and human influences on the environment. Equivalent to INST-503. Prerequisite: take BIOL-2104 .
