NRES 355 - Mountain Ecoclimatology (3 units)
Introduction to basic principles of mountain meteorology and climatology in connection with ecological patterns and processes, especially of tree-dominated ecosystems, together with some of their applications to natural resources and environmental science at local, regional, and global scales.
Prerequisite(s): NRES 217 or BIOL 314 .
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. differentiate between weather and climate, both in principle and in terms of their applications to ecological patterns and processes related to natural resources and environmental science.
2. evaluate eco-climatic changes in mountain environments at multiple time scales, from daily and seasonal to interannual and interdecadal.
3. evaluate eco-climatic changes in mountain environments at multiple spatial scales, from a site and watershed to a region, continent, and the whole globe.
