Do you want to learn how to think like an urban ecologist? As urban development increases, it is imperative that we understand how development in the built environment impacts surrounding ecosystems. In this seminar, we will evaluate the role that urbanization plays in environmental conservation. Students will develop the skills and language necessary to discuss how urban ecosystems function and evolve to accommodate fragmented landscapes.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
