One space is available in my field ecology course this summer. The class involves online work in June and July in conjunction with a 2-week field trip (5-20 July) in Nova Scotia. Travel will by Villanova University van from Villanova (or pick-up spots en route).
Course elements include general natural history observation (terrestrial and coastal) with an emphasis on field ornithology; introduction to collection and statistical analysis of ecological field data; and principles of scientific writing relating to natural history and field ecology. Activities include a visit to an island field station; some camping; recreational opportunities (swimming, canoeing); and a whale-watch excursion. More information and contact details are available at http://robertcurrylab.com/bio3955-nova-scotia/ Undergraduate and graduate versions (4 credit laboratory course) are available.
