ESRM 323 Silviculture

with Eric Turnblom

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/ESRM323

See full flyer here! <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/1v25LIp78cUQn9Jq0fXjeBBxDZkpBnrvk/view?usp=sharing__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!lKwpBeDRKn9rFO1fNkGtW6k05iz3Miz31ZWo7OdTPa3TCAZtBXNfQfnX2I3BHsiqZ50lY5flSpZNPrw9$> 

Silviculture is applied forest ecology - the theory and practice (science and art) of guiding the establishment, composition, age arrangement, structure, and growth of the forest.  Learn how trees grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment; about silviculture techniques including site classification, species selection, regeneration methods, and nursery practices.  Mandatory attendance on 4 (of 7) all-day multi-purpose Friday field trips.  See flyer for more info.

 

 

ESRM 325 / SEFS 523: Environmental Applications of Plants: Bioremediation & Bioenergy

with Sharon Doty

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/ESRM325

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/SEFS523

See full flyer here! <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/1BpGpR68TkbjGq93cmNcFJ-u_efdUG9U1/view?usp=sharing__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!lKwpBeDRKn9rFO1fNkGtW6k05iz3Miz31ZWo7OdTPa3TCAZtBXNfQfnX2I3BHsiqZ50lY5flSmvTazGz$> 

This course focuses on the latest technologies involving environmental applications of plants, primarily for remediation of pollutants, restoration, bioenergy, and carbon sequestration to combat Climate Change. Just a few of the topic covered include: Remediation of organic and inorganic pollutants; Bioenergy and biological methods  of sustainable biofuel production; Climate change and how using Carbon Sequestration by trees can significantly reduce carbon dioxide concentrations globally.

 

 

ESRM 350: Wildlife Biology & Conservation

with Aaron Wirsing

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/ESRM350

See full flyer here! <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/1ELyLCJit4OA7AxNkbSBBoPG_AeNTArbs/view?usp=sharing__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!lKwpBeDRKn9rFO1fNkGtW6k05iz3Miz31ZWo7OdTPa3TCAZtBXNfQfnX2I3BHsiqZ50lY5flSkawMhAa$> 

Wildlife ecology and population biology, and interrelationships between wild animals and humans, including encouragement of wildlife population growth and productivity, control of pest populations, and preservation of endangered species with emphasis on forest environments and forest fauna. Prerequisite may be taken concurrently! Prereq course: One course needed, either BIOL 162, BIOL 180, BIOL 220 or ESRM 162.

 

 

ESRM 430: Remote Sensing of the Environment

with Monika Moskal

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/ESRM430

See full flyer here! <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/1QYIhlbEbYdSyEi_sK5fG6BsAXZAG2ftW/view?usp=sharing__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!lKwpBeDRKn9rFO1fNkGtW6k05iz3Miz31ZWo7OdTPa3TCAZtBXNfQfnX2I3BHsiqZ50lY5flSpT1a1ea$> 

Learn interpretation, measurement, environmental monitoring, and map making skills specific to remote sensing.   Addresses the uses of remote sensing for many different types of environments from wetlands to wildlife habitat, pollution, and environmental monitoring.  Focuses on remote sensing fundamentals, interpretation, and manipulation of aerial photography, satellite imagery, and LIDAR.

 

 

SEFS 508: Plant Modeling

with Soo Kim

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/SEFS508

See full flyer here! <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/1zWlhGneEsp8KnaiKLzdzjhlcH_hQrUkL/view?usp=sharing__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!lKwpBeDRKn9rFO1fNkGtW6k05iz3Miz31ZWo7OdTPa3TCAZtBXNfQfnX2I3BHsiqZ50lY5flSkkM_L4g$> 

In this course, students use their knowledge about the physiology and ecology of
plants to build and apply process-based plant ecophysiology models for addressing
questions like “how will plants respond to rising CO2 and temperature?” and “How
much carbon does a tree fix in their lifetime?” The primary focus is on explanatory
models that explain how plants work. Basic understanding and curiosity in plant
physiology and interest in scientific computing are recommended.

 

 

SEFS 590 B: Synthesis and Meta-Analysis in Ecology

with Laura Prugh

https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/SEFS590

See full flyer here! <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/12PX930giG3bwlKvfee1YU1CGJRdfHQuV/view?usp=sharing__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!lKwpBeDRKn9rFO1fNkGtW6k05iz3Miz31ZWo7OdTPa3TCAZtBXNfQfnX2I3BHsiqZ50lY5flSmLDMVeZ$>  

This course will provide graduate students with the foundational knowledge needed to conduct quantitative syntheses and meta-analyses. Gain hands-on experience conducting meta-analysis from start to (near) finish - from generating a research question, to compiling data, to analysis and writing.
