| Description | In this course, students will have the opportunity to put into
practice the skills and knowledge they gain from discussion and
reading the scholarly literature about wetlands in NS232. We will
use the Hampshire College campus as a living laboratory to
explore both natural and constructed wetland ecosystems. We will
sample soils, vegetation, and water and analyze and interpret our
results. During the second half of the semester, students will
design their own projects identifying a question of interest,
selecting appropriate methods to explore their research question,
carrying out their research and synthesizing and presenting their
results (this course meets the Division II Supported Project
requirement). This class is designed with a commitment to
accessibility and to providing access to students of all
backgrounds and abilities. Students that take Wetlands for Water
Treatment LABORATORY must also enroll in Wetlands for Water
Treatment (NS-232). Keywords:environmental science, hydrology, natural resources, ecology |
