Description

Running water habitats are rich and complex environments for biological study. Understanding how these lotic exosystems function requires an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating hydrology, water chemistry, environmental engineering, and biology. This course will discuss habitat, life in running waters, energy and nutrients, community patterns, and biodiversity. The focus of the class will be on fieldwork to apply these concepts through recording and analyzing field data from reservation streams.
Prerequisites: NSCI 253, CHEM 233, BIO 223, completed with a grade of "C" or better
