ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 318: Geological Processes And Biological Adaptation in The Southwestern u
4.00 Credits
Connecticut College
An intensive field course emphasizing biological responses to changes in the physical environment. Topics progress from a discussion of the role plate tectonics in the formation of the southwestern landscape, to a focus on the influence of local topography and natural disturbance regimes on the distribution and ecological adaptations of different species of plants and animals. Field trips are based at research stations in the southwestern U.S. and investigate regional geologic processes and their influence on natural communities in deserts; arid grasslands; oak and pygmy conifer woodlands; and pine and spruce forests. One lecture per week and 12 days of intensive field work in the southwestern U.S. during spring break. There will be an extra fee to cover travel expenses (special fee). Prerequisite: Biology 105 and permission of the instructor. Preference will be given to students who have completed Environmental Studies/Geophysics 115 or 120. Enrollment limited to 16 students. R. Askins, D. Thompson
