Prerequisites: Prerequisites: ENVS 132 or equivalent.
Semester Details: Wetlands are a critical ecosystem on the planet, providing many ecosystem goods (fish and timber) and services (water purification, pollution abatement). Yet wetlands are often depicted as scary, dark places to avoid. Even our lexicon is filled with negative descriptors (I am swamped with work, or I am bogged down) that are associated with wetlands. The course will be divided into three parts; wetland hydrology, wetland ecosystems and wetland management. May be used to fulfill an Upper Level Elective requirement for ENVS majors. For Spring 2012 only, may be used to fulfill the Intermediate Ecology and Conservation requirement for ENVS majors.
