Study ecology and learn about Hawaiian culture on the islands of Kauai and Hawaii!
Travel with Dr. Chris Havran and Dr. Michael Larsen to three Hawaiian Islands to explore the ecological and cultural influences that have shaped modern Hawaii. Through practical field exercises and self-guided research projects, you will develop field experience in ecology, conservation biology, and ethnoecology.
We will travel to two Hawaiian islands (Kauai and Hawaii) and explore sites of historic, ecological, and cultural importance. Students will participate in original research and will engage in hands-on conservation and cultural activities.
