This 3-week immersion course will introduce students to the 
taxonomic, morphological, and functional diversity of seaweeds, with 
an emphasis on the flora of the west coast of North America. We will 
also touch on ecological adaptations to life in the intertidal, 
evolutionary history, cultural and economic importance of algae, 
invasive algae, and patterns and consequences of anthropogenic 
stressors on seaweed assemblages. Students will undertake a herbarium 
project and the final week will be dedicated to group projects. 
Students should expect to spend a good deal of time in the field, 
including a short camping trip.
