Students identify the “pieces, patterns and processes" of terrestrial ecology while in residence at the Wells Gray Education and Research Center. Students practice field techniques with instructors and visiting biologists. Students situate observations within ecological theories and develop testable hypotheses in teams. Students integrate their understanding of field ecology's theory and practice by collecting, analyzing and interpreting field data into professional-level reports and orally present their conclusions to their peers. Students appreciate theory of good leadership and practice strategies for conflict resolution and consensus building while working in teams. Students articulate importance of responsible leadership that prioritizes health and safety while working in remote field locations. Prerequisite: BIOL 3000, 3030 (C minimum). Recommended Requisite: BIOL 3100
