| Brief Summary of Proposal | Microorganisms play vitals role in the cycling and transformation of material in the biosphere and remediation of contaminated systems. They have profoundly influenced the geochemical conditions of Earth throughout its history and continue to do so. This course will address the physiology, ecology, and activities of organisms that mediate important biogeochemical processes and the variety of approaches geomicrobiologists use to study such organisms and processes. Given the multidisciplinary nature of geomicrobiology, such a course will be valuable to students working in the fields of geology, biological sciences, and environmental sciences and engineering. Since a portion of this course will be in a journal club format, this course will also provide students with experience in critically evaluating primary scientific literature and enhance scientific presentation skills. See AS-09-057 for 500-level proposal. |
