2003-2004 Catalog of Studies

(ENDY) ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS

ENDY4043 Water Resource Issues (SP) Human impact on the quantity and quality of water resources including impact of agriculture, industrial, and municipal uses, and a comparitive policies and water resource development, past and present.

ENDY5023 Digital Remote Sensing (SP) Theoretical and applied aspects of the manipulation and interpretation of environmental phenomena recorded by digital remote sensing instruments. Emphasis is on techniques of digital image enhancement and transformation, image geocoding & supervised & unsupervised classification of multispectral image data from Earth-orbiting platforms. Prerequisite: GEOL 4413 or equivalent.

ENDY5033 Advanced Geographic Information Systems (SP) Advanced vector operations and analysis. Topics include topological analysis, network analysis, geocod-ing, conflation, implications of source and product map scale, map generalization, error mapping, and cartographic produc-tion. Prerequisite: (ANTH 4563 or GEOL 4563) or equivalent.

ENDY5043 GIS Analysis and Modeling (SP, Odd years) Advanced raster topics are examined with a theoretical and methodoligcal review of Tomlin's cartograhic modeling principles. Topics vary and include fourier methods, image processing, kriging, spatial statistics, principal components, fuzzy and regression modeling, and multi-criteria decision models. Several raster GIS programs are examined with links to statistical analysis software. Prerequisite: (ANTH 4553 or GEOG 4553) or equivalent.

ENDY5053 Quaternary Environments (FA) An interdisciplinary study of the Quaternary Period including dating methods, deposits soils, climates, tectonics and human adaptations.

ENDY5063 Paleoclimatology (SP) The earth's climate history over the last 2 million years and the influence various factors have had on it; compilation and paleoclimatic histories and methods of dating climatic effects. Prerequisite: GEOG 4363 or equivalent.

ENDY5113 Global Change (FA) Examines central issues of global change including natural and human induced climate change, air pollution, deforestation, desertification, wetland loss urbanization, and the biodiversity crisis. The U.S. Global Change Research Program is also examined. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

ENDY5153 Environmental Site Assessment (IR) Principles, problems, and methods related to conducting an environmental site assessment. An applied course covering field site assessment, regulatory documentation, and report preparation. Prerequisite: GEOL 4033.

ENDY5533 Marine Geology (SP) Geological principles as applied to the study of the world's ocean basins. Course includes basic theories of ocean basin evolution, continental margin evolution, coastal geologic processes, and methods of study of deep sea records of global change and paleoceanography. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

ENDY6013 Environmental Dynamics (IR) Required course for ENDY doctoral candidates. Overview of Earth Systems: Lithosphere; Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere, Cryosphere, and human interaction across Earth systems. Emphasis on understanding of processes within Earth systems and interactions across Earth Systems as they pertain to global self-regulation, secular variation, climate stability, development and sustainability of human societies. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

ENDY6023 Seminar in Environmental Dynamics (IR) Seminar examining specific contemporary topic of topics in Environmental Dynamics. Topics will change with each offering. May be repeated for 6 hours. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

ENDY689V Special Problems in Environmental Dynamics (1-6) (FA, SP, SU) Independent study of a topic related to environmental dynamics under the guidance of tan ENDY faculty member. May be repeated for 6 hours.

ENDY6991 Environmental Dynamics Colloquium (FA, SP) Weekly meetings for discussion of current research in environmental dynamics. Graduate students must register for colloquium each semester. Colloquium credit does not count towards minimum hours required for the doctorate. Prerequisite: graduate standing. May be repeated for 6 hours.

ENDY700V Doctoral Dissertation (1-18) (FA, SP, SU) May be repeated for 18 hours. Prerequisite: graduate standing.
