Trisha Atwood and Edd Hammill lead the Coral Reefs Field Course available to undergrad students. This course is a 13-day field course on the biology and ecology of coral reefs and their many inhabitants. This course is taught at the Heron Island Research Station located in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. 

Each year, the students share their adventures on the class blog site and photo page. A few of the highlights are featured below.
