A study of ecological processes in marine environments of the tropics.

The laboratory portion of the course will involve two weeks of intensive field work at a tropical marine laboratory. Because this field experience occurs after Commencement, seniors may not use this course to meet graduation requirements. They may take this course if a.) they are willing to miss commencement, and b.) they meet all graduation requirements without this course. As an alternative, seniors may postpone graduation until the next commencement. There is a separate field trip fee.
