ENVR 6345 Environmental Systems Modeling
This course introduces fundamentals of physical, chemical, and biological connections with water hydrology at the land surface and in the subsurface with applications of computer programs. Topics covered include and not limited to ecosystems-water interactions, various water environments (e.g., wetlands, irrigation fields, aquatic system health), water resources management, and remediation of contaminated sites. In this course, students will learn practical data analysis and assessments with datasets collected from field and laboratory experiments. Students will also apply existing software applications to model the hydrologic response of a watershed, or wetland, or soil column/profile under changing climates with at least two professional software in environmental science from EPA, USDA, or USGS.
