Springs, Swamps, and Sinkholes

Springs are often thought to have mystical, healing properties and lakes are prized for their tranquility. Swamps sound like dark and scary places where you might get stuck or lost or eaten alive. What do these ecosystems have in common? Why are they different? In this class, students explore the watery landscapes of Florida and learn about the ecosystem processes that shape the way we value them.

The course is divided into three units: Florida geology and geologic history (springs), wetlands and wetland ecology (swamps), and lake processes (including sinkholes).

The Wikipedia assignment will involve improving an article on a topic related to these themes, or to aquatic ecology more broadly.
