Zoology Field Experience Lab

Catalog description

Students will take part in an exciting field-trip experience to Brazil, where they will interact directly with research biologists doing field experiments in the Atlantic coastal rain forest and surrounding ecosystems of Brazil. While in Brazil, students will work in the field collecting data on a particular specialized topic, and work closely with the Brazil research team in analyzing and presenting these data in a scientifically appropriate format. Upon return to Fairfield, the semester will be spent perfecting techniques in data organization, analysis and presentation including a formal paper, poster, and/or talk. Enrollment by permission only.
