-
3.00 Credits
study of the Earth's atmosphere including: constituents and interactions, pollutant sources/sinks, stationary and mobile source control technologies, effects of pollutants on the environment, public policy, and standard techniques used to sample for both gasses and particulates.
-
1.00 Credits
presentation and discussion of important conservation issues in Conservation Science. Conservation Science majors must take this course or 431 at least once. Either course may be repeated for additional credit.
-
2.00 Credits
serves as a capstone experience for all natural science students. Topics include the ecology of wetlands, wetland plants, hydric soils, wetland animals, wetland delineation, constructed wetlands, and wetland mitigation. A group field research assignment with written and oral reports will allow students to use and apply previous technology courses.
-
2.00 Credits
habitat evaluation and manipulation techniques are studied and put into practice in the field. Cover mapping habitats, quantitative vegetation analysis, release cutting and controlled burning are just some of the operations used in the ecological assessment and management of successional stages for game and non-game species.
-
2.00 Credits
presents an overview of basic groundwater flow systems, well design, and groundwater management. Emphasis will be placed on the environmental aspects of groundwater development and management.
-
2.00 Credits
sampling and analysis of wildlife populations are emphasized. Census techniques, markrecapture, and removal methods are used to assess population numbers. Age and growth studies, survivorship curves, population biology of vertebrates (pest and non-pest species), condition, sexing, and autopsy techniques for birds and mammals are covered.
-
2.00 Credits
freshwater fish are studied in terms of their taxonomy, morphology, life history, and ecology. Aquatic habitat evaluation is combined with management practices for lakes, ponds, and stream systems. Population studies, age and growth, food habits, and stocking techniques are incorporated into sound ecological practices.
-
4.00 Credits
provides an in-depth examination of the major issues and challenges that define this exciting new discipline. The course will place a great deal of emphasis on exploring the role and limitations of science in addressing contemporary conservation problems. The course design includes lecture, laboratory, and field trips.
-
1.00 Credits
a team-taught seminar course that uses readings from recently published articles and focused discussion to explore important conservation issues. Conservation Science majors must take this course or 231 at least once. Either course may be repeated credit.
-
3.00 Credits
involves a discussion of a series of scientific papers covering a conservation topic. In addition, students search the biological literature related to the topic, prepare two literature reviews, and submit a scholarly research proposal at the end of the semester. Prerequisite: 331 or permission of instructor
