3.00 Credits
Emphasis on quantitative, spatial analysis of landscapes and application of these quantitative tools to making sound management decisions. Work with real data, acquire high-level quantitative skills, develop problem-solving skills, and discuss management application of model results. Analysis will encompass abiotic, biotic (plant and animal), and human use of ecological systems in a spatial context. Cross listed with ECOL 5610. Prerequisites: Upper division stats course (e.g., STAT 4015 or STAT 4025) and graduate standing.
-
1.00 Credits
Presentation and discussion of recent range management research. Prerequisite: graduate standing.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Research on specialized problems in range management. Investigations offered in the following areas of range management, habitat management, business management, range improvements and monitoring, watershed management, extension and international development. Prerequisite: graduate standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Identify concepts and components of wildlife habitat, employ quantitative measures to evaluate habitat from a vegetation perspective, design field techniques to collect information, and conduct subsequent habitat data analyses and interpretation. Prerequisite: ZOO 4300, REWM 4330 and 4850. Dual listed with REWM 4650.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary training and international collaboration uniting some of the most active landscape genetics groups in North America and Europe. A key objective of landscape genetics is to study how landscape modification and habitat fragmentation affect organism dispersal and gene flow across the landscape. Meeting this and other landscape genetic objectives requires highly interdisciplinary specialized skills making intensive use of technical population genetic skills and spatial analysis tools (spatial statistics, GIS tools and remote sensing). To bring these diverse topics and skills together effectively, we are using a distributed model of teaching. Population genetics, spatial analysis/statistics, and previous experience in Rare all extremely useful but not required. Cross listed with: ECOL 5680.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies watershed processes controlling water quality. Examines impacts of land use activities such as agriculture production, livestock grazing and mineral and natural gas extraction on surface water and ground water quality. Emphasis is placed on water quality modeling and management. Dual listed with REWM 4710. Prerequisite: CHEM 1030 and MATH 2200.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis on fundamental and applied aspects of restoration for terrestrial wildlife habitats following anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Although the course overviews theoretical concepts applicable to many systems, there is a focus on applications for wildlife habitats in western North America. Dual listed with REWM 4750. Prerequisites: 6 hours of Biology or Life Science coursework.
-
3.00 Credits
Stable isotope fundamentals and their applications in tracing waters, understanding surface water-groundwater interactions, tracking sources of water pollution, natural gas origin/exploration and assesing hydrological impacts of natural gas extraction and carbon dioxide sequestration. Laboratory exercises will provide hands-on training in stable isotope measurement techniques. Dual listed with RWM 4790. Prerequisites: CHEM 1000 or 1020 and graduate standing.
-
2.00 Credits
Emphasis on the current status of restoration science and the application of ecological theory in restoration ecology. Focus on concepts of population genetics, metapopulation biology and ecosystem science, food webs, biodiversity and invasion, conceptual models, experimental design and climate change. Course will address topics in experimental, ecological restoration. Prerequisites: Graduate Status, STAT 2050, LIFE 3400.
-
2.00 Credits
Emphasis on the experimental design using examples from restoration science. Focus on experiments to test concepts in ecosystem science, food webs, population genetics, metapopulation biology, biodiversity and invasion, and climate change. Address topics in experimental, ecological restoration.Prerequisites: Graduate standing.
