Our Microbial Planet

GEOL 1180, Spring 2020
Time: MWF 1-1:50pm | Location: BESC 1B75 | Credits: 3

Microbes are everywhere! They are the unseen force that rules our planet – present, past and future.  Ingenious tiny master chemists too small to see by naked eye yet so powerful and resilient they can survive even the most extreme places on our planet – boiling hot, freezing cold, bone-dissolving acid, the vacuum of space! We invite you to join and learn why microbes play such a crucial role in the functioning of Earth’s ecosystems, how they affect our everyday lives, and what we can do to employ them towards solving the challenges of the 21st century.

This course counts as an EBIO ancillary.

Open to all majors. 

Offered only in spring semesters.
