SDSU biologists have collected specimens from every corner of the Earth for decades: It’s all in the Biodiversity Museum.
Using Acceleration Technology and Machine Learning Tools, the Team Monitors Snake Behaviors as Part of Conservation Effort.
SDSU Teamed up with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, NOAA and Other Institutions to Model the Impact of Warming Oceans on Large Migratory Fish.
Students will be provided with an environment of excellence in ecology research, teaching, and mentoring. The advantages of this joint program are that students benefit from both SDSU and UC Davis advisors and mentors as well as having access to nearly all major biomes of California. Examples of specialized electives include courses such as theoretical ecology, human ecology, and physical-chemical ecology. Students spend their first year at SDSU with their advisor for preparation of a thesis proposal. The student then moves to UC Davis for further course work and preparation for the Qualifying Examination.
Emphasis on restoring native habitats and studying conservation issues in ecosystems.
Study various marine habitats, focusing on ecology, dynamics, and conservation.
Ecosystem ecology research, focusing on global change and quantitative methods.
