    This applied ecology course is designed to present an overview of field and laboratory methods used by ecologists to describe and analyze plant and animal aggregations and their environments. The course focus is on the principles and practice of various ecological procedures with explanation of how to collect, record and analyze data. The course reviews the basic concepts of ecology that are needed to understand the various methods and their significance. The course material is presented as a combination of lecture, laboratory, and field sessions.

    This course will provide the skills required by environmental professionals to deal with Federal and State Air Quality Standards. The course will be structured to blend technical, social and political air quality issues into real world activities in the air pollution field by enabling students to recognize key air quality issues and how to best deal with them. Students will also be grouped and asked to work as a team to submit and to review air quality plan approval and permit applications. In addition to the traditional classroom setting, two classes will be held at site locations to enhance the learning experience.

    This course is designed to provide the student an overall understanding of the science, law, regulations, and technologies associated with the protection of surface and ground waters. It is a non-engineering course that prepares students to understand and deal with water pollution issues in the workplace. The course begins with a review of the basic science associated with the properties and behavior of water. It then progresses to an examination of the various types of water pollution and their sources. The legal framework for water pollution control in the United States is addressed via a review of the structure and requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA). This is followed by an examination of regulatory requirements, including ambient water quality criteria, effluent limits, permitting, and other topics. The latter half of the course focuses on water conservation and water pollution control and prevention technologies.

    This course is an examination of plant biochemistry, physiology genetics, and development - a merger of basic biology, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Emphasis is placed upon linking basic plant systems to current research problems and developments in biotechnology and genomics. Typical topics will include applications of plant molecular biology to understand cellular structure and function, ecological physiology, genomics, developmental genetics, and plant/pathogen relationships. The course will also discuss the issue of plant biology as it pertains to world economics and food production.
  • 2.00 Credits

    The course introduces students to the fundamentals of geologic materials and soils and deals with ground and surface water and hazardous earth processes, such as flooding and earth movements. Geological issues of solid waste disposal, hazardous waste management, and land-use planning will be covered. The course will include case histories and field trips.

    Stream Field Biology is the study of the functional relationships and productivity of fresh water streams as they are affected by their physical, chemical and biotic environment. The dynamics of flowing streams, with their linear pattern, makes an ever-changing ecosystem dominated by constant erosion and deposition. Increasing knowledge about the operational stream ecosystem and factors that regulate productivity of the total watershed is crucial. The participants in this course will categorize stream order in a watershed; explain the abiotic and biotic relationships that exist with stream ecosystems; analyze the parametersof a watershed; and evaluate the trade-offs, costs and benefits of conserving stream watersheds.
