This is an introductory course focusing on the theory and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Technology. The course combines related theory with practical laboratory assignments.

The principles of oceanography with views on real world applications, especially to the teaching of this class at the high school as well. Prerequisite: At least one year of college-level chemisty or physics or instructor permission..

This course will equip students with some of the most commonly used deep learning architectures. We will explore feed-forward networks, convolutional neural networks, UNETs, encoders-decoders, generative adversarial networks and transformers. We will also analyze tools of explainable AI. Focused on environmental applications, students will apply these techniques to real-world data, solving problems in prediction, pattern recognition, and data-driven insights. Solid background in probability, statistics, and in coding (preferably Python) is recommended for enrollment in this course. 

Analyzes the patterns and processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Topic include macro- and micro-meteorological factors such as producer, consumer, and decomposer processes; hydrologic and biogeochemical pathways; and changes through space and time. Three lecture and four field or laboratory hours. Prerequisite: EVSC 3200 or equivalent, and instructor permission.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject area of environmental science.

This course covers the fundamental processes governing biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic elements across diverse soils: farmlands, forests, and wetlands. This course emphasizes quantitative assessment of pools and fluxes, key biological interactions, and perturbations by humans.

Specialized topics in ecology, atmosphere, hydrology, environmental geology, or environmental systems not normally covered in formal classes under the direction of the faculty. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

Study of ecohydrologic processes characteristic of arid and semiarid regions. Prerequisites: Any introductory hydrology class or instructor permission.

Geographical data is increasingly important i n understanding our society and our environment. This course will focus on teaching stiudents advanced principles and operation of GIS software. It's a im is to develop students who are prepared to apply GIS to a variety of research problems by expoing them to tools and techniques that go beyond those covered in a basic course on GIS. Prerequisite: EVSC 5020 or equivalent experience

The purpose of this weekly course is to serve as a peer-cohort building introduction to the environmental sciences graduate program and to the university. Students will gain professional development experience, clarity on expectations, and practical information such as resources and graduate milestone expectations to help them acclimate to life as a graduate student and make the most of the experience.
