Summer Ecosystem Experiences for Undergraduates: Jordan

Program Description

Students with the Earth Institute Center for Environmental Sustainability will have the opportunity to study marine ecology at the Red Sea Marine Science Center. Not only will students snorkel in coral reefs, they will have the opportunity to study sub-tropical ecosystems. These are lively reefs with ample marine life including dolphins, eels, turtles, manta rays, hard corals, and over a thousand species of fish. Students will be able to visit the Dead Sea, experience the forests in Ajloun, and wander the deserts in Dana.

This institute provides the opportunity for students to experience all of Jordan from Aqaba in the south to Amman in the north. Students will explore diverse ecosystems including forest, desert, freshwater, marine, and wetland.
