course is an intensive, field-oriented class appropriate for advanced
undergraduate students, graduate students, and post graduate workers in ecology,
geology, environmental sciences, and diatom taxonomy. We will immerse ourselves
in the diverse aquatic habitats and fossil deposits of the Upper Midwest to
observe freshwater diatoms. Students will learn techniques in diatom collection,
preparation, and identification. Lectures will cover taxonomy, systematics and
biogeography of most freshwater genera. Students will complete individual
voucher collections using modern database techniques</SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> and produce written species treatments using
publication guidelines. <SPAN style="COLOR: #222222">Students are encouraged to
bring research materials. The use of diatoms in ecological and paleoecological
research will be discussed. Class size is limited to ten students and early
enrollment is encouraged. <B>May 23 to June 17, 2011</B></SPAN><SPAN
