GE 312 Restoration Ecology (Fall: 3)

Prerequisite: Two of the GE 201-208 series or BI201, or by permission of instructor.
This interdisciplinary course will explore the fundamental principles of ecological restoration by examining the mechanisms underlying landscape degradation and addressing the small- and large-scale processes that require rehabilitation in order for restoration to be successful. We will address both ecological and societal issues surrounding restoration, as an integrated understanding of both is needed for sustainable solutions to emerge. Equal attention will be given to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Applying theory to practice, students will develop processes for performing restoration through group projects, case studies, and a restoration site visit.
