-
1.00 - 10.00 Credits
Dissertation writing under the direction of the major professor.
-
3.00 Credits
A multidisciplinary introduction to politics, policy, government, business, journalism and other topics as they relate to the internship and other academic offerings of the Washington Semester Program.
-
3.00 Credits
Morphological, physical, and chemical soil properties affecting tree growth and forest productivity; evaluation of soils and site quality; preparation of forest sites for planting, diagnosis, and correction of nutrient limitations; use of forest soil systems for waste treatment.
-
4.00 Credits
Multidisciplinary examination of the terrestrial components of the hydrologic cycle focusing on the qualitative analysis of precipitation, snowmelt, runoff generation, routing, infiltration, and subsurface flow and transport. Emphasis is on the definition of hydrologic processes, identification of hydrologic resources, development of environmental monitoring techniques, and application to hydrologic resources management.
-
3.00 Credits
Field data acquisition methods to hydrologic systems are used to determine precipitation quantity and quality, evapotranspiration, streamflow, groundwater occurrence and movement, and soil zone transport processes. Physical and chemical measurements are coupled to determine flow paths, mass balances, and the environmental fate of solutes.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to wetland systems and regulation. Wetland geomorphology, hydrology, soils, chemistry, vegetation, animal communities, response to land management, functional description, and legal considerations. Practical training in measuring and characterizing wetland features as well as delineating wetland boundaries and assessing wetland function.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced analysis of hydrologic processes to provide a theoretical understanding of precipitation, evapotranspiration, streamflow, groundwater occurrence and movement, and soil zone flow and transport. Emphasis is upon quantitative methods used in conjunction with field and laboratory data to identify flow and transport dynamics in hydrologic systems.
-
3.00 Credits
This field course focuses on the physical environment of Georgia by examining the diverse geology, soils, and surface and subsurface hydrologic processes within the state. We will travel to all of Georgia's physiographic areas, visiting mines, farms, forests, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and estuaries to explore the influence of human activities on the physical environment.
-
3.00 Credits
Development of models of the dynamic behavior of environmental systems from the perspective of process engineering and control. State-space, continuous-time, and discrete-time representations. Introduction to, and tutorials in, the MATLAB-SIMULINK software package.
-
1.00 - 12.00 Credits
Individual student problems pertaining to forest soils, hydrology, and environmental systems at the masters level.
