3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. An introduction to the atmospheric physical processes important to understanding weather and weather forecasting at the surface of the earth and macro-, synoptic-, meso-, and micro-climates. The emphasis is on synoptic and micro-scale phenomena. Students will learn how to access weather data on the Internet and use that data to forecast weather. At the micro-scale, emphasis is on describing conditions and projecting change. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 338 and FOR 538.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. The course covers basic principles of physical hydrology, including the movement of water through hydrologic reservoirs on global and watershed scales, measurement and quantification of hydrological data, runoff generation processes and water quality in the natural environment. Course content includes precipitation, evapotranspiration, streamflow generation, and fundamentals of groundwater flow. Students are expected to apply course concepts to an independent research project. Fall. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: Soils and/or Introductory Geology. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 340 and FOR 540.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Introduction to the fundamentals of soil science in the context of soil as an ecosystem component. Fall. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: one semester of Introductory Chemistry or permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 345 and FOR 545.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week during the first two-thirds of the semester. The last third of the semester is devoted to fieldwork and production of a soil map. Models of soil genesis, application of the U.S. system of soil taxonomy, and soil mapping. Spring. Prerequisite: Introductory course in soil science.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. An application of raster Geographic Information System technology to the solution of spatial problems in the fields of planning, forest management, landscape architecture, biology, ecology, and engineering. Students learn how to obtain raster geographic data, convert it to different spatial coordinates, carry out spatial overlay analyses, produce effective maps, and write effective reports. Students complete a final project, prepare a comprehensive report and present the results to the class. Spring. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 356 and FOR 556.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. This course teaches the application of vector Geographic Information System technology to the solution of spatial problems and the analysis of spatial data in the fields of planning, forest management, landscape architecture, biology, ecology, and engineering. Students will learn how to obtain geographic data, convert it to different spatial coordinates, carry out spatial queries and overlay analyses, produce effective maps, and write effective reports. Students complete a final project, prepare a comprehensive report and present the results to the class. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 357 and FOR 557.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. This course builds on knowledge gained in introductory vector GIS courses and provides instruction in data structures, data models, between layer topologies, and geographic editing. Spring. Prerequisite: FOR 357 or FOR 557 or equivalent experience with vector GIS.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. This course focuses on the basic theories, concepts, principles and functions of modern management and administration, with an emphasis on the four functions of management: leading, planning, organizing, controlling. The four functions of management are applied to the public and private sectors, as well as for profit and not-for-profit organizations. Environmental management systems, corporate ethics and social responsibility and systematic problem solving are among the principal topics emphasized. Graduate students lead the discussion of case studies and have a separate recitation section. Fall. Prerequisite: graduate status. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 360 and FOR 560.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory, and one hour of independent study per week. This course is designed to provide the skills and professionalism to succeed as forestry consultants and wood procurement foresters. Introduction to the structure of the forest products industry in the United States and more specifically the issues and challenges surrounding wood supply and forest management. Field exercises provide students the opportunity to assume the role of both a forestry consultant and wood procurement forester. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both FOR 415 and FOR 615.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture or six hours of field studies and three hours of independent study per week. Advanced study of silviculture, including the conceptual basis for designing prescriptions to serve a variety of landowner objectives. Concurrent independent work on assigned projects enhances problem-solving skills related to stand analysis and prescription making. Reports articulate the conceptual basis for recommendations, and discuss likely outcomes based upon findings from research and computer simulations. Field exercises provide practical experience in implementing silvicultural prescriptions. Spring. Prerequisite: previous studies in silviculture at the baccalaureate or higher level.
