-
3.00 Credits
This course will focus on environmental analysis of climate, water, and soils of a prospective landscape site to inform the design process on selection of adapted plants and plant layout that will minimize irrigation water use and maintenance. Crosslisted as: PSC 5090 and LAEP 6090/LAEP 5090.
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course study intensively used turfgrass areas as well as irrigation management and applied water relations of urban landscapes in the arid west. This course also involves the complex interactions with people who use and expect much of these environments. Crosslisted as: PSC 4100. Prerequisite/Restriction: PSC 3810.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, students access and explore different climate data collections and gain knowledge about the earth's climate/weather system. Students gain skills analyzing and interpreting climate data. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Cross/Dual Listed as: PSC 4123
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes numerical approaches in science and basic knowledge of climate modeling, numerical simulation, data assimilation, and climate prediction.
-
4.00 Credits
Morphology, development, and classification of soils. Lectures and weekly field exercises emphasize soil as a natural body of the landscape: its properties, distribution, behavior, and interpretations for diverse land uses. Prerequisite/Restriction: Understanding of fundamental soil science; PSC 3000 recommended. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Simulation and measurement of transport processes (e.g., water, solutes, CO2, heat) in partially-saturated soils. Includes influence of chemical reactions, plant root, and microbial respiration on CO2 soil fluxes, and plant root distribution and uptake on transpiration processes. Applies to problems related to agricultural, environmental, ecological, and hydrological applications.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers an introduction to the discipline of bioinformatics and computational biology. It also covers techniques for biological big data mining. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Crosslisted as: PSC 4150.
-
2.00 Credits
Emphasis on chemistry of salt-affected soils. Topics include carbonate chemistry, cation exchange, and reclamation of sodium and salt-affected soils. Exploration of effects of sodium accumulation on soil hydraulic conductivity and the biochemistry of salt and potentially toxic elements.
-
3.00 Credits
Inputs, outputs, and cycling patterns of major nutrients. Emphasis on mechanisms for transformations, factors influencing process rates, and the impacts of management and global change on nutrient cycles and air and water quality. Prerequisite/Restriction: BIOL 1620, PSC 3000, CHEM 2300 or CHEM 2310, or instructor permission. Crosslisted as: BIOL 6200 and WILD 6200.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course encompasses the capstone project of the Master of Professional Studies in Horticulture (MPSH) degree. Students apply the interdisciplinary knowledge gained from their studies toward development and completion of the capstone project, with guidance from departmental advisors. Pass/Fail only.
