  • BIO 435: Coastal and Estuarine Ecology

    4.00 Credits
    Creighton University

    Coastal and Estuarine Ecology is a 3 ½ week, intensive travel course. Participants experience, first-hand, the great diversity of marine ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Atlantic, and Southeastern Atlantic regions. The class will examine tropical coral reef, sea grass, and mangrove communities, barrier islands (salt marshes, beaches, mudflats), and diverse open water habitats (lagoons, bays, tidal creeks and rivers, and near-shore shelf waters). The course emphasizes physical, chemical, and biological concepts applied to coastal habitats, with an emphasis on adaptations of marine organisms to their environments, ecological relationships, sampling methods and site characterizations, and threats to coastal ecosystems. The class stays at nationally recognized oceanographic and coastal field stations in Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi. The Creighton 18¿ Sundance Skiff and field station boats serve as work platforms and provide access to various habitats. P: One organismal-level or field course in biology or IC.

  • BIO 440: Field Biology Of The Desert Southwest

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Creighton University

    A field course designed to allow students to study faunal and floral desert adaptations. Students spend three weeks living at a field station in San Carlos, Mexico on the Sea of Cortez. Participants obtain and analyze field data to determine how small, ectothermic vertebrates utilize external heat sources in order to thermoregulate, culminating in a paper written while at the field station. Bioinventory activities include collecting, preserving and identifying museum quality specimens; trips to nearby Nacapule Canyon, night time and day time visits to local tide pools, snorkeling trips including Isla San Pedro and its sea lion colonies. Participating students should be prepared for warm, sunny weather and time both in and out of the water, kyaking and sailing. Qualifies as a population level biology course and as a laboratory course and is now Certified Writing. P: BIO 212, and IC.
