  • 3.00 Credits

    Geographically analyzes conservation of natural resources, as well as political, social, and ethical ramifications of environmental policy.Prerequisites: Completion of any PN course; Junior standing
  • 2.00 Credits

    Centers on the role of information technology in support of scientific research. Through integration of multiple software packages (e.g. Relational databases, ProgramR and ArcGIS), proven database designs, and SQL scripting, increased efficiency and utility will occur during data analyses. These information science principles are demonstrated using project-based examples. Cross listed with ECOL/ENR 5050. Prerequisite: graduate standing.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of structure, function, and change in the biosphere on the scale of kilometers. Includes a consideration of the effects of human land uses, natural disturbances, and other processes on landscapes. Prerequisite: GEOG4460 or BIOL 2400 or BOT 4700 or consent of instructor.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Combined lecture and laboratory course introduces students to the fundamentals of remote sensing with a strong emphasis on vegetation, land cover and environmental applications. Students learn to use digital spectral data to distinguish characteristics of the terrestrial biosphere important for ecological and land management applications. Dual listed with GEOG 4111; cross listed with BOT 5111. Prerequisites: Graduate standing
