Prerequisite: BIOL 265 or ENVS 280 or permission of instructor.
Students will immerse themselves in the winter environment and learn about habitats on, in, and under snow, both terrestrial and aquatic, organisms that live in these habitats and their physiological, behavioral and morphological adaptations for survival. Students will gain an understanding of research on winter ecosystems.
Outcomes: Students will gain understanding of habitats and organisms present during winter in temperate ecosystems and gain experience with field techniques employed when studying these ecosystems.
