Assessment of a Study Area

"Instruction takes the form of an interdisciplinary project (biology, ecology, geology) that combines fieldwork, literature reviews, meetings with professionals or subject matter experts, and science outreach. The goal is to produce a comprehensive scientific study of a specific region, linking the area’s bio-ecological and geological characteristics to its economic, social, historical, and/or cultural heritage features. Students work in small groups (usually 2; 3 at most), under the supervision of a tutor. They must produce a written thesis (in the style of a science outreach publication) and organize a one-day field session, which is tested with a group of students and faculty members."
