IV. OVERVIEW:

On this trip you will be doing a number of exercises in the field and laboratory, including a daylong trip on a small research ship. You will work in a team of 2. There will be some free time for jogging, napping, reading, going to town . . . but not a lot! This trip is expensive and the opportunity to use one of the world's great marine facilities is a rare opportunity. Expect to be busy for 8+ hours each day.

 

TRIP REPORTS will be due about 2.5-3 weeks after break (I will let you know when).  Please turn them in a BINDER!!!! Loose reports are difficult for me to handle with so many students.
