Biodiversity of the Antarctic Region: Is it a Losing Battle?

Overview

Case studies provide a brief overview or examination of events that impact or alter the way people function and live day to day within the human and physical environment. They help by providing students with “real world” examples that relate to the theoretical content they are studying.

Objective

Students will prepare a case study illustrating the impact
