ENV 3170 Freshwater Ecology Medical Spanish & Health Sciences Program Fall 2022 Semester - Early Start - San Jose

Water is a vital resource for human beings, but it is a limited resource that has been degraded and the demand for this resource is growing. Freshwater ecology or limnology is a course to help us understand the physical, chemical and biological properties of inland aquatic environments (wetlands, lakes, rivers, mangroves, and reservoirs). It aims to give emphasis to the problems and conservation efforts for water resources. Students will learn about methods for monitoring aquatic environments through field trips and laboratory work.
