The Galapagos Islands have inspired ecologists since Darwin’s first visit and writings. This is the ideal place to inspire students through an introductory level ecology field course to a general audience of students, or you can build a specialized and advanced course in marine biology — or anywhere in between.

Dr. Dan has led hundreds of students in field courses of all shapes and sizes. We are ready to help you design the teaching and learning experience of your dreams!
