Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. interpret complex scientific information and figures from both technical and lay literature.
2. analyze ecohydrological datasets in order to critique previous resource management decisions.
3. employ concepts of wildlands hydrology to assess alternative scenarios and make management decisions.
4. apply visual and oral communication skills to effectively convey their decision making process.
