3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 410 and introduction to ArcView Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Explores spatial structure of urban and metropolitan areas. Topics include (1) the changing form of urban areas over time, () the behavior of people that gives rise to particular urban forms, (3) the ways in which the internal structure of cities affects individual and group behavior and welfare, and (4) the various ways in which people perceive and interact with their environment. The lab provides students the opportunity to analyze basic data, using cartographic and statistical modes of analysis and the resources of the Geographical Information and AnalysisLab (GIAL). Students in the lab must take the lecture portion concurrently; however, students in the lecture may elect not to take the lab for additional credit.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 356 or BIO 309 or SSC 315 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC Examines components of biodiversity: what it is, why we like it, where it is highest, and what threatens it. Focuses on the application of spatial solutions to biodiversity maintenance in wildlands, and to biodiversity management in working landscapes (especially logged but also farmed). Case studies and a field trip are employed to explore the usefulness of the methods.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 101 or GLY 101 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC Presents and discusses concepts, theories and applications in Earth System Science investigating the complexity of physical, chemical, and biological processes in geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and ecosphere. Fundamental understanding of the Earth system includes emphasizing these dynamic processes and their interaction that extend over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The lecture aims to create an interdisciplinary learning environment that supports understanding and communicating with other disciplines about the complex environmental processes. Possible impact and solutions to local, regional, and global environmental problems are assessed through modeling scenarios of changes in biogeochemical cycles.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 356 or BIO 309 or SSC 315 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC Restoration ecology is the art and science of repairing lands that have become damaged by natural or human disturbance. Examines ecological and social reasons for restoration. Focuses on how to identify and repair the key physical, chemical and biotic components of damaged ecosystems. Case studies and a field trip help are used to develop the theories and methods.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 347 or GEO 348 or GLY 31or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC/REC Examines the origin, geometry, water flow, and sediment transport associated with streams and rivers, and how these processes and forms vary in time and space. Places particular emphasis on the analytic description of physical processes, the adjustment of rivers to natural and human-induced disturbances, the interactions between fluvial processes, water quality and aquatic habitat, and emerging areas of research.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: SEM Advanced seminar. Topics vary each semester. Requires independent projects in the field being covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 352 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Studies soils laboratory techniques; involves field work (soil sampling) and soil surveying.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GEO 103 or GEO 330 or GEO 333 or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC Examines how regions, cities, and countries are engaged in economic, political, and institutional strategies in order to tackle problems related to poverty, underdevelopment, economic decline, and/or economic stagnation. Attention is given to the influences of local and global forces, actors, and policies on regional and national competition and development.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GEO 481 and MTH 121 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Examines the basic theories and concepts behind transportation networks, their structure and operation as well as their need in different applications such as location theory. Approaches topics from both a theoretical and a GIS perspective. There will be a weekly laboratory to provide hands-on experience in the different topics.
