Contemporary problems and issues in evolution, ecology and behavior as they relate to fisheries and aquatic sciences.
Class description
The objective of this course is to expose students to the challenges and tools necessary to develop rigorous monitoring and evaluation programs for a variety of stream and watershed restoration. We will examine critical considerations (i.e., scale, study, design, replication, variable selection) and the key steps for designing effective monitoring and evaluation for different types and scales of restoration.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
Classes will consist of presentations and discussions by experts in the field as well as in-class discussions and exercises where students design monitoring and evaluation programs or interpret results of data from real restoration projects.
Recommended preparation
Class assignments and grading
Class readings will be primarily from the recently published book Monitoring Stream and Watershed Restoration (2005), with supplemental readings and case studies from other sources.
