ENV 4453 — Applied Wetland and Stream Management
Integrates core ecological concepts with nature-based solutions and low-tech process-based restoration approaches used in stream, riparian, and wetland management. Students learn to classify wetlands and riverscapes, assess habitat condition, and identify drivers of degradation. Through field data collection, case studies, and hands-on assessments, students apply ecological understanding to develop practical, defensible restoration and enhancement recommendations for a range of freshwater and riparian systems. Not available for supplemental.
