BIOGEOCHMCL CYCLNG/AVERY BROOK
Same as GEO 180y. This is an interdisciplinary research immersion course investigating biogeochemical cycling in the Avery Brook watershed with a particular focus on mercury -? its deposition on and movement through the watershed, its methylation by the microbial communities in watershed beaver ponds and its bioaccumulation. The questions asked and techniques applied will span the disciplines of biological science, geoscience, chemistry and environmental science.
