This intensive field course aims to provide students with advanced understanding of modern and fossil carbonate environments, and the role of biological processes in reef building and erosion. It complements EMSC6023 Marine Biogeochemistry and is for students seeking a profession in the marine science, environmental science or geochemistry. Several days will be spent at a coral reef location investigating a modern reefal setting, fossil reef depositional environments and relevant biological processes. Activities will include both advanced lectures and field surveys. This course has a limited enrolment and permission is required to enrol in this course. Please register interest by emailing the course convener or student.admin.rses@anu.edu.au (it is advisable to to this before the end of semester 1). NOTE: Graduate students will attend joint classes with undergraduates, but will be assessed under a different scheme, which will require a greater level of conceptual understanding.

This is an intensive field course to be held either in November/December or early in January. Students are expected to work individually and in groups. The expected workload will consist of approximately 130 hours throughout the session including: - 1 week field trip. - Approximately 70 hours of self-study which will include assessment tasks to be completed after the field trip. Graduate students will be required to demonstrate a higher level of understanding. Other Information The fieldtrip is usually held in late November / December (Spring Session) or early January (Summer Session) with a location of either One Tree Island or Heron Island, Queensland. The field trip costs $800 plus return transport to Gladstone in addition to normal course fees. Field trip costs cn be paid via Scienceshop This course has a quota of 21 and permission is required to enrol. Please register interest by emailing the course convenor or student.admin.rses@anu.edu.au. (It is advisable to to this before the end of semester 1). Students are selected on merit basis with priority given to those in final year of program who require this course to graduate.
