BIOL 3794 Freshwater Ecology
This course exposes students to applied aspects of Freshwater Ecology. Students will gain an appreciation for the freshwater environment, the organisms that call these habitats home, and the human relationship with both. We cover a wide range of topics utilizing a Laurentian Great Lakes lens, but also incorporate a global perspective. Activities vary based on opportunities, but have included habitat restoration on the Chicago River, angling and aquaculture experiences in Wisconsin, and techniques for assessing fish behavior.
