Tropical Marine Ecology serves as an intensive field-based introduction to the ecology of estuarine and marine environments. INTERESTED? Take a look at the MARINE ECOLOGY SYLLABUS for more information. The primary goal of the course is to immerse you in field experiences that link with readings, lectures, discussions, labs, and discovery-oriented investigations of the environments of San Salvador, Bahamas, the Everglades and the Florida Keys. Several topics will be covered in depth. These include ecology and geology of the Bahamas Everglades, and Florida Keys, marine ecology, coral reef ecology, intertidal zonation, grassbed ecology, taxonomy of vertebrates and invertebrates of coral reefs, lagoons, and tidal flats, statistical analyses of data, astronomy, and group projects concerning biological and physical analyses of select marine habitats.

These images should provide a hint, a mere glimpse, into the beauty and complexity of a wide variety of ecosystems. So, enjoy!

People and Other Organisms

It all started long ago!

Be sure to look at these photos of "People and Other Organisms." Although these photos appear to focus on individuals, there is much ecology and a sense of place in each photo! Here is a "Quicktime Slide Show"of some of the interesting places and people that I've had the privilege of knowing over the years.
