What will I learn?
The Microbial Ecology Course gives you practical skills to design and execute river studies from headwaters to downstream sites. Learn robust sampling strategies, lab workflows for sequencing and activity assays, and how to measure key environmental variables. You will analyze data with modern bioinformatics and statistics, interpret ecological patterns, and clearly communicate results in reports, papers, and presentations.
