COURSE OFFERING, SUMMER 2000 (please distribute to interested students)
One section of Arctic Field Ecology will offered this summer (University of
Minnesota, EEB 5842, 5 credits) (June 22 - July 19, 2000). Students will
participate in a new program developing links between western and Inuit
understanding of the Arctic landscape.
This year we will explore the region Hiukitak River area west of Bathurst
Inlet in the Canadian Arctic. We will focus on landscape patterns of
vegetation, wildlife activity, and ecosystem processes as well as past and
current human interaction with the land.
We will charter float planes to our remote starting point and travel by
river for the first three weeks of the course. During the final week we
will meet with local Inuit instructors and travel along the Arctic coast.
Arctic Field Ecology is open to undergraduate and graduate students and is
an exciting introduction to the Arctic and to field research in the natural
sciences.
