4.00 Credits
This course covers chemical and physical processes, biotic diversity and adaptations, and ecosystem dynamics in wetlands and streams. The interactions between aquatic systems and neighboring terrestrial ecosystems are emphasized with a strong focus on watershed-scale analysis. Throughout the course, relatively pristine ecosystems are contrasted with those that have been heavily modified by human activities. In this way, we explore how human activities and land uses can influence the characteristics, usefulness, and biological integrity of wetlands and streams. Field and laboratory studies provide students with practical experience in watershed mapping, wetlands delineation, and stream ecosystem assessment.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the structure and function of lake and reservoir ecosystems, including the physical, chemical, geological and biological characteristics and processes. The interaction between lakes/reservoirs and their watersheds and management strategies for these systems are emphasized. The laboratory component includes field sampling, laboratory analysis and data analysis of water quality parameters and aquatic communities. GIS and other computer programs will be used in the analysis of land use patterns as well as in the analysis of limnological data.
-
4.00 Credits
A multidisciplinary examination of the fundamentals of hydrology essential for environmental and spatial analysis. Topics include hydrologic processes and water balances in the landscape, saturated and unsaturated flow in soils, drainage, basic aquifer mechanics, environmental monitoring techniques, stream flow and storm flow dynamics in response to rainfall and watershed characteristics.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the fundamental principles of Environmental Chemistry including field techniques. Topics to be covered include the chemistry of water systems, organic and inorganic pollutants in natural water systems, its transport, degradation, retention and remedial methods including Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). Emphasis will be placed upon field sampling for monitoring, sample handling, storage, instrumentation, data analysis, GLP and quality control.
-
1.00 Credits
Special interest courses, which may not be transferable, are offered in response to student interest and demand. These are applied courses that address specific topics in Environmental Science (ESCI) and concentrate on a specific ESCI project relevant to the student’s major. Topics covered will be determined by the instructor and the student(s). Course proceeds by arrangement with instructor. A written proposal for the study filed with the supervising instructor is required.
