GINTD 6034 - Ecological Perspectives of A Bioregion

Institution:

Lesley University

Subject:

Description:

6 credits At the lower end of the Bay of Fundy marine system on the northeastern border of the United States and Canada, Cobscook Bay is one of the largest tidal systems in the United States. This course offers a comprehensive survey of the marine and terrestrial ancestries that inhabit the ecosystem of and surrounding Cobscook Bay. Outstanding features of this area include the extreme tidal fluctuations (23 feet at certain times of the year); due to its lack of population centers, Cobscook Bay is one of the premier sky viewing places in the northern hemisphere; and because of its remote rural character, it is one of the last remaining natural resource communities of North America. The natural science ecosystem analysis that will constitute this study will ground educators in an ecological perspective for studying, investigating, and discovering their home place with students. Note: Ecological Teaching and Learning students only.
