MS4111

This is the capstone course of the MSSEP major. Students bring all of the knowledge and skills learned in their other classes to bear on their own year-long, environmental monitoring project. The course provides an opportunity for students to design and conduct their field projects and enables students to become familiar with various techniques of environmental monitoring. Students work in small teams and conduct their field studies on a weekly basis throughout the fall semester and then continue their studies throughout the spring semester as course MS-4211, Environmental Monitoring II. Students meet regularly with faculty instructors for the course. Faculty will assist students by providing scientific and technical guidance and advice for the field projects. Students will prepare formal posters for public presentations at the end of the semester showcasing the results of their work.
