Students Study Tropical Ecology and Ecopsychology in Costa Rica Over Spring Break

Seven students traveled with biology professor Deanna Soper, Ph.D., and psychology professor Scott Churchill, Ph.D., to Costa Rica over spring break to study volcanoes, swim with sea life and hike through the cloud forest of Monteverde.

While in the country, students visited multiple ecosystems, including the cloud forest, the intertidal and near offshore marine ecosystems near Quepos, the Arenal volcano, and the Poas Volcano, which is home to the world's second-largest crater. Students observed a diversity of plants and animals, attended lectures in the field and participated in class discussions that enabled them to reflect on their experiences.
