-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Description: Qualified students working on an individual basis with professors who have agreed to supervise such work. Graduate students doing independent work which cannot be classified as actual research will register for credit under course number 599, 699, or 799. Grading: Alternative grades are awarded for this course: S P F. May be repeated: an unlimited number of times, consult your department for details and possible restrictions. Usually offered: Fall, Spring, Summer.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Nutrient uptake by plant roots, soil microbial ecology, and soil chemical reactions affecting nutrients will be discussed and applied to processes of nutrient cycling in soils. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): SWES 200. Usually offered: Fall.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Description: Over the past twenty years ?ustainability (or ?ustainable development ) has emerged as a central goal of environmental policy making. Contemporary tools of environmental policy including ecosystem management, adaptive management, and restoration have been displaced by what seems like a clearer goal that captures ends as well as means. Sustainability has moved from the work of scholars and activists to laws and administrative regulations. The language of sustainability has extended to the world of business and commerce.Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: LAW 603J; LAW is home department. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Water flow in soils; closely related problems of solute, pollutant, and heat transfer; emphasis on current concepts and research. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): MATH 254. Identical to: ABE 605, HWR 605. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: [Taught Spring semester in even-numbered years] The functional ecology and dynamics of biogeographically diverse savanna, shrubland and woodland ecosystems will be examined. Interactions among co-occurring life forms and growth forms will be emphasized with in the context of climate, soils and disturbance. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): Upper-division ecology course. Identical to: RA M 619; RA M is home department. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: The critical zone (CZ), the outer terrestrial layer that ranges from the top of the vegetation cover down to the bottom of the aquifer, undergoes rapid transformations in response to anthropogenic perturbations. To better understand spatial and temporal variability of complex physical, chemical, and biological processes and to develop environmentally sound management strategies for sustainable use of our natural resources, characterization and monitoring of CZ processes are essential tasks that require highly qualified experts in Environmental Sciences & Engineering. This is emphasized in the National Environmental Monitoring Initiative proposed by the White House National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in 1997 and through establishment of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): MATH 250A, MATH 250B. Identical to: HWR 625. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: The topic of this course is the transport and fate of contaminants in subsurface systems. We will discuss the many factors and processes influencing contaminant transport, and will emphasize the impact of these processes, and representative conceptual/mathematical models. The course is based on critical, detailed analyses of case studies of actual contaminant transport problems. This provides a "real-world" basis, and allows an opportunity to develop skills necessary to evaluate real systems. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): SWES 565. Usually offered: Fall.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Description: Specialized work on an individual basis, consisting of training and practice in actual service in a technical, business, or governmental establishment. Grading: Alternative grades are awarded for this course: S P F. May be repeated: an unlimited number of times, consult your department for details and possible restrictions. Usually offered: Fall, Spring.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Description: The development and exchange of scholarly information, usually in a small group setting. The scope of work shall consist of research by course registrants, with the exchange of the results of such research through discussion, reports, and/or papers. Grading: Regular or alternative grades can be awarded for this course: A B C D E or S P C D E. May be repeated: for credit 4 times (maximum 5 enrollments). Usually offered: Fall, Spring.
