-
1.00 - 12.00 Credits
(Spring, Summer & Fall).
-
1.00 - 15.00 Credits
Project individually arranged by student and faculty sponsor. Requires completion of the Independent Study form and approval by the Faculty Sponsor, Academic Advisor, Department Chair and Academic Dean. (Spring, Summer & Fall).
-
3.00 Credits
This course analyzes the role played by the different branches of government and the public in shaping and determining environmental policy and law. Major environmental statutes and agency regulations at the local, federal and international level are examined. Students undertake extensive literature research on a legal or policy topic approved by the instructor. Credit will not be given for both ENV421 and ENV521. Prerequisites: an undergraduate degree in environmental science or related field or POI.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the biological, chemical, and physical features of lakes and other inland waters. An analysis of the interactions between biological communities and their aquatic environment. Laboratory involves examination of freshwater biota and habitats, survey of limnological methods and analysis of data. Lecture and laboratory. (Fall). Prerequisites: graduate standing, bachelors degree in science.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the ecology of river and stream ecosystems. Analysis of biological communities, physical and chemical attributes, watershed dynamics, and current ecological theory. Field investigation of Adirondack streams and rivers. Weekly 2-hour lecture and 3-hour laboratory sessions. (Every Other Fall).
-
3.00 Credits
A recitation course that builds on theory and models of population growth, regulation, community stability and persistence given global change concerns. In depth student-led discussion will focus on population ecology, including population genetics and evolutionary ecology, regulation/limitation debate, equilibrium versus non-equilibrium theory, competition theory, dynamics of direct and indirect predation, community assembly rules, and metapopulation dynamics. Literature surveys will culminate in a review paper on a population or community ecology topic and laboratory experiments will test applications of population growth models under various environmental treatment scenarios and be written as a sample of primary literature. Students who have received credit for ENV336 or ENV436 may not receive credit for ENV536. (Spring). Prerequisite: ENV/BIO304.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of theory and concepts in ecosystem ecology through a survey of the literature, including classical papers. Source materials will be evaluated and critiqued through a combination of lectures, written assignments and student-led discussions. (Spring). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: BIO304 or ENV304 or POI
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Specialized subjects in environmental science with direct application to modern environmental issues. Topics vary with instructor and semester; potential subjects include landscape ecology, preservation of ecological diversity, global climate change, fire ecology, insect ecology, advanced concepts in ecology and others. Ecological concepts for the topic covered will be developed through reading original research papers, giving oral presentations, and written assignments. Can be repeated for credit with a different topic. Students can receive credit for this course only if they have not received credit for ENV 480 with the same topic. Prerequisite: Graduate Student Standing.
-
3.00 Credits
A multidisciplinary approach will be used to introduce students to the concept of sustainability and explore sustainable development issues at the local, national and international levels. Topics such as the historical development of the concept of sustainability, the equitable distribution of ecosystem services and sustainable economic development will be explored. Students undertake extensive literature research on a topic approved by the instructor. Credit will not be given for both ENV481 and ENV581. (Spring).
-
2.00 - 6.00 Credits
Original research project individually arranged between student and faculty sponsor. Course may be repeated. (Fall/Spring).
