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 provides the opportunity to offer a new course in the subject of atmospheric sciences.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new course in the subject of geosciences.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new course in the subject of hydrology.

Study of hydrologic processes characteristic of forested regions. Prerequisite: Introductory hydrology or instructor permission.

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.

Studies the processes that shape the land surface and their relationship to human activity. Prerequisite: EVSC 2800 or 3600.

Studies the principles that govern the distribution and abundance of the elements in the earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Prerequisite: College chemistry and calculus; intorductory earth science or geology recommended.
