Ecology, biology and control of insects which attack shade trees, forests and forest products. A brief introduction to insects; attention to the more important forest and shade tree insects.

Basic techniques and concepts of the management and population dynamics of wildlife populations; emphasis on estimating animal population parameters, development of population growth models, and principles of population management. Includes field and laboratory techniques for estimating population parameters for wildlife.

The course will introduce students to analytical methods applicable to the evaluation of energy and climate problems and policy solutions. The methods include ethical analysis, cash flow and benefit/cost analysis, GHG inventory and lifecycle analysis, optimization and systems analysis. While applicable across many fields, the methods will be applied through class and assignments to current issues in clean energy and climate policy.

Advanced ecology course that examines the interplay between aquatic organisms and their physical, chemical, and biological environment, with an emphasis on freshwater lakes and streams. Students will learn basic ecological concepts and theory and sampling methods, and apply them to understand the impacts of human activities on aquatic ecosystems and strategies for conserving and managing freshwater ecosystems. While there are no formal prerequisites to accommodate graduate students with diverse backgrounds, students should have completed coursework in general biology, chemistry, and ecology.

Forests provide tremendous public benefits. This course will teach methods for mapping forest resources and quantifying the forest species and structure that provide these many benefits, with the goal of informing forest conservation decisions. The course will also include methods for determining threats to forests, including invasive plants, exotic insects, and deer over populations. Finally, the course will include techniques for monitoring conservation restrictions.
