Course Description:
This seminar will introduce students to riverine (lotic) ecosystems in Connecticut. We will explore the natural history and human use of local streams and rivers and patterns of change over time. Topics will include resident biota and their ecological interactions, as well as threats to the integrity of riverine ecosystems, including global change. Beyond reading, discussing, and writing on these topics, we will use field trips to local streams and rivers to immerse ourselves in these habitats and learn relevant research skills. |
