Adelphi in the Bahamas: Coral Reefs and Tropical Shores
Adelphi in the Bahamas is an intensive, three- credit intersession course held in San Salvador, the Bahamas.
Extensive field investigations, supplemented by classroom lectures, provide a practical and theoretical introduction to the ecology and geology of tropical systems.
Days are spent in the field, investigating patch, fringe and barrier reefs, mangrove- dominated tidal creek, turtle grass environments, and caves, and comparing the modern systems to an ancient (125,000 year old) reef formed when sea level was 6 m higher than present. Evenings are spent in classroom and laboratory study, with a strong emphasis on environmental issues.
Community service and exposure to the cultural history of the island are integral parts of the course.
The course will be offered again next winter session, for 10 days in early January. Exact dates will be announced soon.
