FRESHWATER ALGAE COURSE 2005

Where and when?

Kindrogan Field Centre, Enochdhu, Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland
(near the tourist area of Pitlochry), 31 July - 6 August 2005.

What is the course about?

The course takes full advantage of the excellent range of aquatic and
terrestrial habitats in this beautiful area of Highland Perthshire to
provide a sound introduction to the recognition, identification and
ecology of freshwater algae. Emphasis will be placed on the use of the
microscope and taxonomic keys (print and electronic) for the
identification to generic and species level and their ecological
importance.

For those with some prior knowledge of the algae, we hope that the
opportunity to study samples from a range of habitats will broaden
their knowledge and/or allow them to focus on particular groups.

Field trips, on foot or by vehicle, will be varied, but not strenuous
and will be complemented by laboratory work, illustrated talks and
class discussion.

The course focuses on how to get a grip with identification, and the
broader aspects of algal morphology, structure, reproduction, and
classification (morphological and molecular).

Who are the participants?

The course is open to individuals with different backgrounds ranging
from beginners to those who would like to refresh their knowledge of
particular groups of algae or experience collecting in a different
region of the world.

What is the full cost of the course?

The course costs £352.11 per person (approx Euro 499 or $664), which
includes accommodation, all meals (please notify if you have any
special dietary needs) and tuition. This is excellent value for money
and costs significantly less than other algal courses on offer.

Who are the course tutors?

The course tutors, Dr Eileen Cox and Prof Elliot Shubert, have taught
this course for the past eight years and have a wide ranging expertise
on freshwater algae. Eileen and Elliot conduct research at The Natural
History Museum, London, specialising in diatoms and green algae
respectively. Eileen has published a key to live diatoms and Elliot
has published a key to the non-motile coccoid and colonial green algae.

Is there support for students?
