Course Description

Australia hosts a large number of endemic plants and animals, with human settlement dating back over 20,000 years. With a combination of high biodiversity and long-term human interaction, it is an ideal location to explore topics in environmental science, including non-native species introductions, soil and water conservation, and fire management in the landscape. This class will allow participants to collaborate with Australian scientists and conservation organizations in current environmental research, while discovering the flora and fauna that make this country exceptional. Open to all majors, the multidisciplinary approach of the class also makes it an ideal capstone experience for the Environmental Science degree.
