Microbial Ecology in the Mountains
Microbial ecology is the study of microbes in the environment, their roles in ecosystem processes, and their interactions with one another and other biota. In this course, the Mountain Research Station becomes our outdoor laboratory as we explore microbial habitats, quantify microbial contributions to key ecosystem processes, and discuss emerging tools for microbial research. We will practice field techniques that students do not typically encounter in lab-based microbiology courses while also developing common microbiology techniques. This course is intended for anyone curious about ecology and microorganisms with an interest in building both field and laboratory skills.
