This course provides the opportunity to offer a new course in the subject of hydrology.

Study of hydrologic processes characteristic of forested regions. Prerequisite: Introductory hydrology or instructor permission.

This course covers the fundamental processes governing biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic elements across diverse soils: farmlands, forests, and wetlands. This course emphasizes quantitative assessment of pools and fluxes, key biological interactions, and perturbations by humans.

Cover fundamental and recent advances in Soil Biogeochemistry, with an emphasis on literature describing fundamental processes governing abiotic-biotic elemental transformations and key human perturbations.

Studies the processes that shape the land surface and their relationship to human activity. Prerequisite: EVSC 2800 or 3600.

Studies the erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment; initial motion of sediment, bedload and suspended load transport and bedforms; and important sediment-transporting environments. Applies sediment transport theory to problems of geological and environmental interest. Prerequisite: one year of calculus and physics, or instructor permission; corequisite: EVGE 5841.

Laboratory and field investigations of sediment transport phenomena and readings of classic and current research. Corequisite: EVGE 5840.

Investigates natural phenomena by means of stable and unstable isotopes and changes in their abundance, including isotope fractionation. Includes age dating, paleotemperature determination, and isotope tracers in natural systems.

Specialized topics in ecology, atmosphere, hydrology, environmental geology, or environmental systems not normally covered in formal classes under the direction of the faculty. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

Introduction to the physics and techniques of remote sensing. Prerequisite: At least one year of college-level chemistry or physics, or instructor permission.
