Limnology: Ecology of Lakes, Laboratory
Laboratories and field trips devoted to studies of the biological, chemical, and physical properties of lakes and other freshwater environments. Exercises focus on understanding the freshwater environment, on experimentation, and on understanding ecological processes within lakes.
Topics
- Use routine limnological methods to sample the physical, chemical, and biological parameters of lakes and ponds.
- Use microscopy to examine aquatic phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macroinvertebrates, with familiarity on identification and taxonomic counts.
