Title

Graduate Education and Training in Aquatic Ecosystem Science

Description

Improvements in instruction and research training of aquatic ecosystem scientists are being implemented at the University of Alabama, particularly in regard to interdisciplinary breadth, ecosystem integration, and experience in problem-solving. Combined programs of rigorous graduate training are required at professional schools of limnology, in which primarily professional practitioners and a very selected group of researchers are trained in inland aquatic ecology with true ecosystem perspectives by means of an integrated problem-solving environment.
