EBIO 2040: Principles of Ecology lab coordinator
In this class, we learn how to design and conduct ecological research. In the field, we study the role of fire in ponderosa forest ecosystems and how prairie dogs change landscapes as keystone species and ecosystem engineers.
The first half of the semester focuses on understanding ecological research through field labs in Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, and data analysis. In the second half of the semester, students conduct independent research in groups. Students develop a question, design and conduct research, analyze data, and present findings to peers during a poster presentation session.
Our team strongly believes that all students are capable of success and prioritizes supporting students’ growth as scientists.
