3.00 Credits
Description: Understanding the dynamics of air and water is fundamental for addressing important issues concerning environmental science, natural resources, and our watersheds. In this class we will develop a strong comprehension of the basic properties of air and water, critical to addressing almost any environmental issue. Additionally, we will discover differences between fluids at rest and in motion. This will help us become skilled at realizing what can be transported by air and water can transport and how it is transported. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): MATH 124 or MATH 125; PHYS 103 or consent of instructor. May be convened with: WS M 502. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Principles of fire behavior in forest, range and other vegetation types; interrelationships of fuels, weather, and topography; pyrolysis and combustion processes; effects of fire; fuels inventory; prevention, detection, and control techniques; fire danger rating and fire behavior modeling. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. May be convened with: WS M 508. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Design of waterways, erosion control structures and small dams. Methods for frequency analysis and synthetic time distribution of rainfall. Methods for estimating infiltration and runoff from small watersheds, flow routing and storm water management. Estimating erosion using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): C E 218 or A ME 331. Credit for: 1.5 units engineering science, 1.5 units engineering design.

-
3.00 Credits
Description: Overview of ecological and hydrological interrelationships and associated vegetation dynamics for water-limited, dryland ecosystems. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): RNR 316, ECOL 302, or consent of instructor. Identical to: ECOL 452, HWR 452, RNR 452. May be convened with: WS M 552. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Natural resource managers and policymakers are increasingly encountering the mandate for maintenance of ecosystem function in watersheds. What does this mean How do we measure ecosystem function How do we measure positive or negative changes in ecosystems This course will examine the structure and function of watershed ecosystems with emphasis on the ecosystem and geomorphic processes shaping watersheds. Students are introduced to the processes that shape the structure and functioning of ecosystems and watersheds, their responses to natural and anthropogenic change and recovery to these disturbances. Student will compare different ecosystems to watershed responses to anthropogenic changes and collect data from selected field sites to explore the relationship among ecosystem processes and changing climate (or other disturbances). Students will develop the writing skills necessary to communicate technical information, the ability to integrate and contextualize the principles of natural resource management by class field work, and gain an understanding of the importance of proper ecologic functioning to the maintenance of healthy watershed systems. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): ECOL 182R. GIS course recommended. Identical to: ECOL 456A, HWR 456A, SWES 456A. May be convened with: WS M 556A. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Application of fundamental principles to quantifying the basic hydrologic processes occurring on watersheds. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: HWR 460. May be convened with: WS M 560. Usually offered: Fall.
