3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and discussion per week. Investigation of the principles of biogeochemistry in ecosystems. The transformations and fluxes of elements in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems including global cycles are emphasized. Fall. Prerequisites: Courses in general ecology and introductory chemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture, discussion or seminar per week. In-depth exploration of selected contemporary topics of environmental toxicology in areas such as toxic hazards of societal importance, pollutant monitoring and remediation, fate and ecological impacts of environmental pollutants, biological basis of toxic hazards, and ecological and human risk assessment and regulations. A major term paper and oral presentation required. Spring. Prerequisite: EFB 400, EFB 600 or an introductory course in toxicology.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture with discussion per week. Centers on chemical signals among organisms from microbes to man as they affect ecology, physiology and behavior; and as they can be utilized for agriculture, pest management and animal husbandry. Spring. Note: Credit will not be granted for both EFB 612 and EFB 412/ FCH 440.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Introductions to popular activities, special projects, and products of nature interpretation such as nature trails and traditional nature walks to explore and illustrate the philosophy, principles and concepts of environmental interpretation. Requires analysis of several interpretive processes and completion of a paper. Fall. Prerequisite: EFB 320. Note: Credit will not be granted for both EFB 416 and EFB 616.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Applications of environmental interpretation theory and methods to nature center programming, science education, and various fields of resource management emphasizing procedures for creating and implementing products such as slide presentations, publications, exhibits and nature walks. Includes analysis and articulation of some interpretive processes. Spring. Prerequisite: EFB 320. Note: Credit will not be granted for both EFB 417 and EFB 617.
-
5.00 Credits
This five-week residential course offers introductions to Adirondack flora and fauna in a regional context as subjects for various interpretive programs and products such as nature walks and trailside presentations, and slide-presentations. The course provides opportunities to select and test the application of professional interpretive techniques to activities promoting natural history and science education. Summer. Prerequisite: EFB 320 or permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both EFB 418 and EFB 618.
-
3.00 Credits
Weeklong residency course with an external project. This course offers practical research strategies for science educators working with their students in local environments. The course builds on forest ecology and wildlife themes as vehicles to teach the process of science. Included within the field-oriented introductions to Adirondack birds, mammals and flora, are ideas to enhance most science curricula. Applications of nature interpretation are used to energize traditional strategies by using nature trails and walks, and trail leaflets, brochures, presentations, and exhibits. Participants must implement, test and document semester-length projects with their students. Summer.
-
5.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week, two hours of laboratory/recitation per week, 1 hour of graduate discussion per week and one weekend field trip. Introduction to marine organisms and systems, using the principles of population, community and ecosystem ecology. Handson demonstrations, discussions, presentations, lectures, and field trip allow study of major marine habitats (e.g., intertidal, pelagic, coral reefs, deep sea), and the increasing human impact on marine environments. Small fee charged for mandatory weekend field trip. Synthetic review paper and short presentation to the EFB 423 class are required. Spring, even years. Prerequisites: One year general biology and general ecology or equivalents. Note: Credit will not be granted for both EFB 423 and EFB 623.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Transgenic plants are currently being produced to improve agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and remediate environmental problems. Students are taught the principles of gene structure and regulation, gene cloning, transformation of plant species, and current applications. Format includes lectures, discussions, student presentations, literature review, and a detailed laboratory project. Spring. Prerequisites: EFB 307 and EFB 325 or equivalents. Note: Credit will not be granted for both BTC 425 and EFB 625.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. Introduction to plant tissue culture for biotechnology research and as a propagation method. Emphasis will be on learning laboratory instrumentation and techniques for establishing cell cultures, producing transgenic cell lines, and regenerating whole plants. In addition to the scheduled lab exercises, an independent micropropagation or transformation project will be required. Fall. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for BTC 426 and FOR/EFB 626.
