NRS 480 - Integrated Ecosystem Management

4 Credits

Integrated Ecosystem Management is grounded in an interdisciplinary understanding of the ecological, social and economic systems that sustain human well-being. Students apply the skills and concepts acquired in previous natural resource courses to collaboratively solve real-world management challenges from an ecosystem-based perspective. The course includes lecture, laboratory and seminar material; however, the focus of the curriculum is the development of student-directed group projects that enhance the management of regional ecosystems.
