Systems Dynamics Modeling for Complex Environmental Problems Course # NRS 250 F1 | July 21-25, 2014 | Max 15 students Students will learn about the important role models play in understanding the environment and making policy decisions. They will get hands-on experience building system dynamics models of integrated systems and will explore how collaborative modeling might be used to support a decision-making process among stakeholders with diverse interests. Prerequisites: Introduction to Environmental Science, sophomore+ standing Student-provided materials: Textbook: Thinking in systems. Meadows, D. (2008). D. Wright (Ed.). Chelsea Green Publishing; laptop computer (students will work in groups of 2 or 3, so it is not essential that everyone brings a laptop, but at least 5 will be needed for the modeling exercises)

Course #: NRS 250 F2 | August 11-15, 2014 | Max 12 students The course will introduce students to the study of lakes as sentinel systems capable of tracking these types of environmental change along natural and human-produced gradients. Students will participate in the field collection and analysis of data from coastal Lake Superior, Lake Namekagon and other Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forest lakes as they help establish and maintain a regional network of sentinel lakes of climate change. Prerequisites: Required: Algebra, Introductory Chemistry, Introductory Biology. Suggested: Ecology; Experience with EXCEL sprreadsheets Student-provided materials: Textbook: Lake Ecosystem Ecology: A Global Perspective; G. E. Likens; $47.25 on Google play; Appropriate field clothes; laptop computer optional (two laptops will be available for group use) |
