Participants will investigate modern and ancient shallow marine environments including the fringing coral reef system, shallow lagoons, a variety of beach types and shorelines, and sand shoals. Goals of the trip include providing participants with field experiences and insight into the earth as a dynamic system. Examples from the local region will be used to illustrate global change phenomena, short and long term change, local catastrophic events, and the differences between natural and anthropogenic impacts in the shallow marine realm. Participants will have the opportunity to become actively engaged in the professor's oceanographic field research. The local evidence for global change and short and long term change.
Space is limited.
Qualified individuals are admitted on a first come first serve basis. I'll even bring the field guides and the carribean-smelling coconut sun block.
