Teaching

General Botany. (EFB 226). This is an introductory course in botany. Students explore a variety of topics related to plant biology, including cell biology, biochemistry, morphology and physiology, evolution, nutrition, systematics and ecology.

Ecological Monitoring and Biodiversity Assessment (EFB 202). I team-teach this course with several other EFB faculty members at the Cranberry Lake Biological Station. The course integrates field studies in aquatic communities, microbial ecology, genetic diversity, plant ecology, terrestrial vertebrate ecology and entomology. Students apply methods in sampling and monitoring to assess the composition of terrestrial and aquatic Adirondack communities.

General Ecology (EFB 320).

Adirondack Forest Ecology (EFB 496). This two-week course is offered at the Cranberry Lake Biological Station during summer session. The class is designed to introduce students to characteristic forest types of the Adirondacks, and to a variety of forest processes such as disturbance, succession, stand development and biomass accumulation, and community assembly.
