Engineering 315 - SEMINAR: ECOHYDROLOGY

This seminar focuses on the measurement and modeling of hydrologic processes and their interplay with ecosystems. Material includes the statistical and mathematical representation of infiltration, evapotranspiration, plant uptake, and runoff over a range of scales (plot to watershed). The course will address characterization of the temporal and spatial variability of environmental parameters and representation of the processes. The course includes a laboratory component and introduces students to the Pioneer Valley, the cloud forests of Costa Rica, African savannas, and the Florida Everglades. Prerequisites: MTH 112 or 114 and MTH 219 03 220 (formerly MTH 241 or 245). Enrollment limit of 12.
