ANSC 875

This arctic field course provides graduate students with specific training and experience in considering Social-Ecological Systems and conducting advanced level field data collection and advanced data analysis approaches in collaboration with Indigenous co-instructors. The course starts and ends in Churchill, Manitoba and students are responsible for their own travel arrangements and costs. This ANSC 898 course is offered together with the undergraduate course ANBI475. Prior to initiating northern fieldwork, students will work closely with the course instructor to develop an independent research project proposal that will normally be based on independent research design and fieldwork. Students will complete an independent research project and present the results orally and in the form of a manuscript formatted as a peer-reviewed paper, keep a daily journal, participate in a journal club discussion, and will be evaluated on their field skills acquired throughout the course.
