4.00 Credits
A course designed to teach the standard methods of water analyses and interpretation of results for surface water, ground water, water supply, and wastewater. The focus will be on the analysis of coliform bacteria, nutrients, organic matter, heavy metals, pesticides and water quality standards. Prerequisites: Biol 212, Chem 211, Math 140 (or equivalent), For 105, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Quantitative methods are the techniques used to numerically and statistically analyze observational and experimental data. Students will gain first-hand experience with data analysis of biological, geological, and natural resources data sets. Prerequisite: Math 140, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The physical structure and dynamics of the atmosphere are explored. Air pollutant movement dissipation, and chemistry will be discussed. Weather phenomena and local air circulation patterns will be discussed in terms of pesticide spray movement and wildfire behavior. Prerequisites: Phys 151, Chem 212, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A course designed for upper-division undergraduate students in earth sciences and natural resources management. The course combines (1) a qualitative conceptual understanding of hydrologic process, (2) an introduction to the quantitative representation of those processes, and (3) an understanding of approaches to hydrological measurements and the uncertainties involved in those measurements. Prerequisite: Geol 101, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Silviculture is the set of practices to grow and manage trees in stands. The course focuses on the factors that affect tree growth, tree stand dynamics and health, and the impact of management on ecosystem values. The ecological practices to sustainably produce forest products are emphasized. Prerequisite: For 318, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A course on the behavior of wildfires in forest and range communities. Methods of prescribed fire use are discussed. The course reviews methods for fuel load estimation, fire weather prediction, and fire suppression. Prerequisites: For 315 and 318, or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the interrelationships among plants, animals, and environmental factors in aquatic ecosystems. The course is field oriented and concentrates on the development of sampling techniques and the analysis of biotic and abiotic components of nearby lakes and streams. Prerequisites: Biol. 389, or 333, or, permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the economic and scientific decisions for large tracts of land and multiple types of forest stands over landscapes. The elements of planning management activities to create the least costs and greatest benefits for a landowner are explored.
-
4.00 Credits
Surveying is the determination of boundaries and positions on the earth's surface. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are geospatially-referenced databases that relate positions of points or areas to data and properties. The course will explore the applications of these technologies to environmental and natural resources problems. Prerequisites: For 318, Math 140 w/ at least a "C", or permission ofinstructor
-
3.00 Credits
Dendrology studies the biology of trees and woody vegetation. This course explores tree and shrub identification with associated botanical nomenclature, and, the structure and function of shrub and tree morphology. A collection of local trees and shrubs is a requirement for the course. Prerequisite: For 318, or permission of instructor.
