1977<\/p>\n<p>I try to bring a different perspective to the Environments Studies Program from my background and experience working in marine ecosystems. I am trained as a traditional biologist with a specialization in ecological physiology, and I have study and published on adaptations of marine organisms to habitats ranging from mudflats to hydrothermal vents.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoy fostering the basic understanding of biological principles and concepts, and I work to enrich my teaching with experiences from my fieldwork and research. I teach lower-division general education courses in Biology and Environmental Studies, ES entry-level majors courses such as Environmental Studies I and II, as well as, Oceanography and senior and graduate-level seminars. And who knows what the future might bring? I look forward to exploring it with our bright and committed SOU students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/ArpCV.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Alisa Arp&#8217;s Professional CV<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/a\/sou.edu\/arp-borneo-june-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Alissa&#8217;s Eco-Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-4\"><span class=\"heavy-man\">Office:<\/span>\u00a0Science Hall 068<br \/>\n<span class=\"heavy-man\">Phone:<\/span> <a href=\"tel:5415526253\">541.552.6253<\/a><br \/>\n<span class=\"heavy-man\">E-Mail:<\/span> <a href=\"mailto:arpa@sou.edu\">arpa@sou.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_section-88aa1dce24bde71ba541926fa983a5ee\">\n.avia-section.av-av_section-88aa1dce24bde71ba541926fa983a5ee{\nbackground-color:#f3f3f3;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_3' aria-label='SOU Business Home Page -
