|
This seminar-style capstone course for E&ES seniors explores major topics that span multiple sub-disciplines of the Earth and environmental sciences. Special emphasis is placed on topics that relate to the Senior Field Research project (E&ES 498). Students will use the primary literature to create hypothesis-driven oral presentations and written reports. In groups, students will develop original, field-based research projects (to be completed in E&ES 498). The goal of the course is to help students transition to independent, professional scientists. |
