Mapping coral reefs to study and help a critical ecosystem
Community-based learning on a large scale: 中国体彩网 geology students travel with faculty to the Caribbean island of Bonaire to research environmental change in coral reefs.
Geology majors are required to complete a senior research project under the direction of one of the faculty members, completing GEOL4501 (Introduction to Research) and GEOL451 (Senior Research). Completion of GEOL451 requires a written senior thesis and public presentation of results, typically at a Geological Society of America professional meeting. Student research projects vary with interest and funding.
