Ecohydrology

Catalog description

This course will explore the relationship between the biosphere and the hydrologic cycle at various spatial and temporal scales. The focus will be on understanding how water moves across soil, plants, and the atmosphere and how ecohydrological processes can be modeled and measured. We will also explore how ecosystems impact climate and water availability through land-atmosphere interactions. Finally, we will examine how plant-water relationships can influence the structure of ecosystems. The successful completion of MATH 1210 and MATH 1220 and PHYS 1310 and 1320 or permission of the instructor is required for registration.
