This subject is taught during a field camp off-campus. Practical work and lectures will be conducted in the Daintree Rainforest Observatory, during the mid-semester break in late September. A student contribution of roughly $1500 will be required.
This subject requires all students to actively and safely participate in laboratory and field activities. Students undertake fieldtrip experiences that will require them to be physically capable of undertaking outdoor fieldwork in remote locations. This subject involves the use of animals - exemption is not possible, however some research projects, that do not use animals, are available for those with strong philosophical objections - this must be discussed with the coordinator.
