NR 512Land Use Policy & Management ()3

Graduate course reviewing the history, formation and implementation of major natural resource laws and policies that impact land uses. This course will provide an overview of federal laws and policies that affect decision making by land managers. Weekly lectures will be followed by student presentations of a selected case study of their choosing in the final weeks of the course. Current natural resource / land management (including forestry, air, water, wildlife, climate change and energy) programs and institutions are discussed, analyzed and related to current land use and management policy challenges. Restriction: undergraduate degree or instructor approval Typically offered in Spring only NR 514/GIS 414/GIS 514/NR 414 Geospatial Analytics for Environmental Change (3 credit hours) As climate and land use changes intensify, they contribute to more frequent and severe climate-driven hazards, making the understanding and application of these tools critical for addressing environmental challenges. Through this course, students will become familiar with the main types of geospatial data (vector, raster, point cloud data). Through hands-on data lectures, students will learn geospatial analytics techniques needed to answer practical questions that interrogate geospatial data to answer questions pertaining to environmental change. Students will become familiar with standard libraries in Python for manipulating vector, raster, and point cloud data and interactions with data APIs.
