Lectures cover a wide range of biological, physical, chemical, and geologic topics.
Field work emphasizes Lake Greenwood, which is a reservoir, but also includes wetlands and streams. Reading assignments include the textbook and references from the limnological literature. It is assumed that you have a strong undergraduate background in biology and that you have had courses in introductory biology, chemistry, physics, and statistics. A course in ecology is desirable but not required. The primary goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive treatment of the principles, accumulated knowledge, and methodology of the science of limnology.
