Limnological Courses

Fundamentals of Ecosystem Ecology [FEE] (4-16 January 2010)
Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, New York, USA

This intensive course will cover the concepts, theories, approaches, utility and history of ecosystem ecology, biogeochemical cycles and budgets, ecosystem energetics and trophic structure, and the response of ecosystems to stress and disturbance. The course will include lectures by members of the Institute's scientific staff and will emphasize critical examination of ideas through extensive readings, group discussions and exercises. Class size will be limited to ~16 students.

The course will be held at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, in rural Dutchess County’s Millbrook, New York. Students should plan to be in residence during the entire course and to devote their full time to this course. The cost of the course is $1,500.00. Included are: course fees, materials, dormitory fees, daily continental breakfast. Students will need to provide their own transportation to and from the Institute and their own meals. Kitchens are available in the dormitories.

A limited number of $1,000 scholarships are available to students who can demonstrate that they do not have personal or institutional resources to pay for the course. Many universities have money available to help students pay for courses such as this one; the Cary Institute is willing to provide documentation to help applicants apply for such university funds, if necessary.

The course is intended for graduate students in ecology, environmental studies, or related fields. Advanced undergraduates with appropriate background may be accepted if space permits. The course is listed by Rutgers University for 4 credit hours; students may wish to arrange to receive credit for the course through their universities under “special topics,” “seminar,” or a similar heading.

To apply for the FEE course please use the online application at http://www.ecostudies.org/fee_course.html. Application deadline is 30 October 2009. Decisions about admission to the course will be made by 13 November 2009.
