GEOG 5545 - Ecohydrology (4 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 0,3 Lab Hours: 0,3
This course will cover how water interacts to connect the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems, with a focus on forests. Students Will measure hydrologic processes to determine the water budget of an on-campus forest and associate these measurements to ecological processes upon which human society relies (watershed management and sustainable agriculture). This includes training on common and cutting edge ecohydrological field equipment installation, operation, maintenance, and data analysis techniques. Additionally, students will compare their results to studies around the globe.
