GEO 181L - FYRES Lab

(2)

FA. This laboratory course engages students in hands-on dune research experiences, with many activities taking place at Lake Michigan dune sites. Student activities are supported by upper-level student research mentors. Directed experiences at dune sites early in the semester give students experience in dune environments, dune research methods, data analysis, and the process of scientific inquiry. Then teams of students implement investigations focused on Michigan dunes, including designing their study, collecting field data, analyzing the results, and drawing conclusions. Each team communicates their study results in a conference-style research poster and oral presentation at the end of the semester. Corequisite(s): GEO 181. Lab fee: $125.
