EEB 5894-003: Seminar - Ecology and Conservation of Tidal Marshes
This graduate seminar will focus on the effects of human activity on tidal marshes. We will read the book Human Impacts on Salt Marshes (Silliman et al. 2009. Univ. Calif. Press). Most sessions will be lead by graduate students who will work individually or in pairs to prepare a 40 minute (total) lecture on their topic, followed by 30-40 minutes of presenter-led discussion. Discussion should be centered around a set of questions sent out to class participants at least 2 days before the class (i.e., Sunday afternoon at the latest).
The course will run simultaneously, and will involve instructors and students, at five institutions. Meetings will take place on-line, via video conference.
Instructors: Chris Elphick (UConn), Brian Olsen (U Maine), Greg Shriver (U Delaware), Adrienne Kovach (U New Hampshire), Jonathan Cohen (SUNY-Syracuse)
Meeting time: TBD
Location (UConn): TBD and on-line
