Foundations of Wetland Science is designed to provide the general public, students, instructors, and professionals with freely accessible online educational modules about wetland science for general knowledge or as resources for the classroom and outreach activities. Each electronic module provides foundational knowledge about a specific topic of wetland science, with the first modules covering basic topics (targeting the general public and high school and undergraduate classes) and later ones
addressing more specialized topics (for more advanced users, including graduate classes.)

Each module has been developed by established scientists and educators with expertise in the specific topic and all have undergone peer and editor review.

We intend that the array of modules will grow over the years, and we encourage people who would like to develop a module on a topic of interest to them to contact the SWS Education Section Chair about their idea.
