ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY (3) Schoenberger   Formerly listed as 570.632. Environmental history explores long-term interactions between social change and environmental transformation, or the ways in which societies modify landscapes and are themselves affected by geological, climatological and changing ecological conditions. This reading seminar considers classic and more recent contributions to this endeavor. Cross-listed with Public Health

570.408 (E,N,Q)

DECISION MODELING FOR CONSERVATION (3) Williams   Prereq: upper level undergrads with mathematics background (i.e. intro. courses in calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and/or operations research). This course examines quantitative methods and models for making land use planning, management, and policy decisions when conservation is a primary objective. The topics covered include reserve design modeling (including marine reserves), other models for habitat managment and restoration, land allocation models for environmental protection and economic development, and forest models for both harvesting and biological conservation. Decision/optimization models as well as some related simulation models are covered. Underpinnings from landscape ecology, conservation biology, population dynamics, hydrology, and economics are used to motivate model formulation. Emphasis is on spatially explicit modeling including issues of spatial scale. Modeling forms include linear, non-linear, discrete, probalistic, and multi-objective approaches. Emphasis is on problem description and model formulation. Some discussion of the technical methods of solution is provided. Course added 01/10/05.
