Special Field Course Being Offered Summer 2008

Dr. Mark Brown in Environmental Engineering Sciences is offering a field-based graduate course to EDGE students during the Summer A 2008 semester. To register for this course YOU MUST FIRST GAIN PERMISSION FROM DR. BROWN mtb@ufl.edu. This course has no on-line lectures, instead a student will be required to travel through-out Florida with the class. Because this is a field based course, it requires a 2 week absence from your job (May 12 - May 28). Students are responsible for the cost of their food and lodging. To see more detailed information go to South Florida Ecosystems.
