| Description |
|
|
| |
| A one-week science Institute in which students experience first-hand the many facets of scientific research. Students will explore local Vermont landscapes by conducting outdoor field research. We use field observations, technology and computers to understand the natural science of our surroundings. Using the University of Vermont campus in Burlington as a base, the week begins with field studies of unique Vermont environments. Students will integrate many environmental themes including: soils, geology, botany, aquatic biology, hydrology, and water chemistry. The group will collect physical, chemical, and biological information from several field areas, prepare maps and computer images, and use a scanning electron microscope and other instruments to explore the microscopic and chemical nature of their samples. Students will specialize in one or more topics but be part of integrative teams that will address local environmental issues. |
