The University of Northern British Columbia is offering an intensive
field-based course in the biology of mosses and liverworts from May 1-6,
2017. From our home base of the North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site
situated at the mouth of the Skeena River in northwest BC, we will explore
the morphology, diversity, and ecology of bryophytes through daily lectures,
lab sessions, and fieldtrips to a range of spectacular habitats including
coastal rainforests and peatlands. 

This is a 3-credit course listed as BIOL 498 (Special Topics: Bryology) for
undergraduates, or as NRES 698 for graduate students. Graduate students from
other universities in western Canada (and possibly elsewhere) can apply for
credit under the Western Deans' Agreement. A qualified individual can also
register for the single course under "interest only" or "audit" categories,
but must apply for admission to UNBC if not already a UNBC student. 

Instructor: Dr. Karen Golinski
Prerequisites: A first-year course in university-level biology
Costs: Tuition and expenses (including student fees and field school fee)
will total about CAD $900 for existing UNBC undergraduate students; cost is
closer to $650 if just auditing the course. An application fee of $37.50 or
$76.10 (depending on whether international transcripts need to be evaluated)
will be required for individuals who are not current UNBC students.
Accommodations and kitchen use are available on-site for $40 per night.
