URBAN ECOLOGY
Apply ecological principles to urban ecosystems, focusing on the intersection of biophysical and social drivers in controlling urban ecosystem structure and function. Cities, the most human-dominated ecosystem, are integral for studying ecological consequences of many global environmental change factors like habitat fragmentation, invasive species introductions, climate change, and water and air pollution; these are examples of topics covered in the course. Culminate in the examination of urban green infrastructure and urban resilience, adaptation, and sustainability.
