CE 8508 - Ecofluid Dynamics
(4.0 cr; Prereq-3502 or equiv; A-F or Aud)
Theoretical principles underlying environmental fluid dynamics of biochemical processes in lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal ocean. Emphasizes small-scale fluid motion, dominant flux path, growth kinetics, thin layers, and microstructure measurements.

EEB 5601 - Limnology (3.0 cr; Prereq-Grad student or #; spring, every year)
Advanced introduction to description/analysis of interaction of physical, chemical, and biological factors that control functioning of life in lakes and other freshwater aquatic environments.

FW 8465 - Fish Habitats and Restoration
(3.0 cr; Prereq-Intro ecology course or #)
Mechanisms underlying physiology/behavior that shape fish community structure in specific north temperate habitats. Techniques and planning procedures for restoring lakes/streams.

FW 8459 - Stream and River Ecology
(3.0 cr; Prereq-Limnology course or #)
Structure/dynamics of running waters from ecosystem perspective. Historical perspective, basic hydrology/fluvial geomorphology, terrestrial-aquatic interactions, detrital dynamics, metabolism, drift, trophic relations, biotic/abiotic interactions, ecosystem experiments and natural alterations, stability/succession, ecosystem dynamics in a watershed.

HORT 5071 - Restoration and Reclamation Ecology (ENVT)
(3.0 cr; Prereq-Biol 2022 or Biol 3002, Biol 1001 or Biol 3407 or equiv or #; fall, every year)
Ecological and physiological concepts as a basis for revegetation of grasslands, wetlands, forests, and other landscapes. Plant selection, stand establishment, evaluating revegetation success. State and federal programs that administer restoration and reclamation programs. Field trips within Minnesota.
