Description:

This course will examine the ecology of aquatic ecosystems. Focusing primarily on freshwater systems, the course will cover their physical, chemical and biological properties, the origins and major characteristics of lakes and streams, and the distribution, ecology and adaptations of organisms living in aquatic systems. Key themes from freshwater ecology will be considered, including nutrient cycles, energy flow, and population, community and trophic dynamics, as well as the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on aquatic environments (such as habitat alteration, pollution, harmful algal blooms and climate change), and responses to such disturbances (policy, management and restoration).
