3.00 Credits
Students learn biological, hydrological, and geological controls on elemental cycling in Earth's critical zone. Application of elemental analyses to tracking environmental change and spatial/temporal variation in ecosystem processes is addressed. Human and natural controls are considered in aquatic, terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric environments. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1210, CHEM 1215, CHEM 1220 and CHEM 1225, and one of the following: WATS 2220 or WATS 3700 Repeatable for credit: No Grade Mode: Standard
-
2.00 Credits
Review of current literature on bacterial, algal, invertebrate, and fish production in lakes, rivers, and the sea. Particular emphasis is placed on whole-ecosystem productivity studies. Cross-listed as: WATS 7120.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces fluvial geomorphology through the reading of landscapes and riverscapes. Students learn to appreciate riverscape diversity, in which distinctive suites of physical and biotic processes (behavior) help shape landscape form and character. Weekend field trips are required. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Cross-listed as: WATS 5150 and GEO 6150/GEO 5150.
-
1.00 Credits
Covering a broad, narrative overview of Earth systems and the influence of global change, this course will focus on a qualitative understanding of the planet and the biosphere, emphasizing systems thinking, using biogeochemical principles to understand processes in the environment. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Dual-listed as: WATS 4210 Repeatable for credit: No Grade Mode: Standard
-
2.00 Credits
This course reviews the literature on current topics in limnology, with a particular focus on ecosystem metabolism (drivers of primary production and community respiration) and aquatic ecology across the lower trophic levels (generally excluding fish).
-
2.00 Credits
Reviews current literature on physiological, behavioral, population, and the community ecology of fishes. Particular emphasis placed on current literature relevant to management of sport and endangered freshwater species. Cross-listed as: WATS 7230.
-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
This course involves a graduate-level educational experience in an internship/cooperative education position approved by department. Repeatable for credit. Pass/Fail only.
-
1.00 Credits
This 5 day field course introduces students to the big questions in Watershed Sciences and the Department community. Students learn about nearby watersheds and the rich diversity of approaches and technologies available to address research questions. Pass/Fail only
-
2.00 Credits
In this introductory course, students examine big ideas in watershed science and supporting disciplines of hydrology, geomorphology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology. Students examine key concepts while exploring the methods, culture, and challenges of scientific inquiry. Pass/Fail only.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the physical, chemical, and biological structure of wetlands. Focuses on the major types of wetlands found in North America, as well as their ecology and management; U.S. wetland policy and mitigation; and regional, national, and global impacts on restoration of wetlands. Cross-listed as: WATS 4310.
