Overview
Biomes of the World is an innovative, integrated 12-week academic experience in which participants study in selected Terrestrial, Freshwater, Marine and Human-Dominated Biomes, ecological units that are correlated with responses to regional climate types and life-form responses. The program integrates biomes, from polar to tropical, in the eastern and western hemispheres, from high altitudes to sea level and underwater, from terrestrial to marine and aquatic by examining our current ecological understanding of the biology underlying what we see. The three courses are central to student appreciation of the biome "concept" through a study of ecology in the Biomes course, natural history, human influence and the impact of global warming through the Fictions of Science interdisciplinary course, and through expression of concepts learned and impressions gained through the Travel-Writing course which has a sub theme of nature writing.
