BIOLOGY CS 101, Section 2 EC # 03202
WALKING BIOLOGY

"Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.... Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder (1965)

This field course is designed to introduce non-biologists (and biology freshmen) to the "wild" natural habitats around us. We will visit a diverse range of habitats in Santa Barbara, including oak woodlands, chaparral, coastal dune, salt marsh, and rocky intertidal. In each of these natural communities we will observe patterns, learn about its natural history and discuss ecological and evolutionary questions. Advanced biology students interested in general field experience are also welcome. There will be several reading and writing assignments.




Instructor(s): Claudia Tyler
Time(s): Thursdays, 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Place(s): Old Little Theatre, Room 160B
