(s) Students will gain a better understanding of the local glaciology, geology, and ecology within a fjord estuary ecosystem. They will compare tests of water temperature and salinity between a brackish stream and the ocean in order to understand the importance of abiotic factors in supporting a diverse marine habitat. Hand held microscopes will be used to examine plankton and provide students with a better picture of the food chain base. Students will focus on detail by attempting to create scientifically accurately drawings of intertidal invertebrates, seaweeds, and plankton. Background Fjor
