Advanced Conservation Biology (Spring)
Advanced Conservation Biology (Spring)
The earth's biodiversity is a precious inheritance that is threatened by an unprecedented extinction crisis. Through readings, discussions and paper writing, this course examines the evolutionary and ecological processes that created the unique diversity of life, valuing biodiversity and ecosystem services, small population dynamics and methods used to conserve biodiversity for future generations. This course is designed to cover the principles in the field of conservation biology through the study of biodiversity. This is an advanced course that assumes a basic understanding of ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

Global Change Ecology (Fall)
Global Change Ecology (Fall)
Humans are causing unprecedented changes to the earth’s terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Global change impacts from altered climate, land use change and nutrient cycles affect species at various spatial and temporal scales. These changes manifest themselves in novel patterns of biodiversity, a reflection of how species are surviving in the face of global change. This course examines drivers of global change, the impacts of these drivers on species and ecosystems, and our options for protecting species and Earth’s precious biodiversity.
