  • 1001-375: Galapagos:Evolution and Biogeography

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    The course examines geological and biological factors that made the Galapagos Islands a crucible in which Darwin formed the theory of evolution and discusses the origins of the islands by the twin mechanisms of plate tectonics and volcanism. Students observe recent lava fl ows and see initial biological colonists as well as ancient fl ows in advanced stages of colonization. The islands reveal the interaction between ocean currents, marine life, and mammalian and avian fauna that thrive on this rich sea life. Students observe many endemic species and subspecies and gain an understanding of adaptive radiation. The 11-day trip includes a visit to the Darwin Scientifi c Research Station. Students learn of the dangers of human infringement on the fragile ecology and efforts to conserve unique plant and animal species. Enrollment limited. Contact instructor fall quarter. Travel fee required. (1001-251-253 or 201-203) Credit 4
