Course Catalog Description:
The geography of biodiversity and productivity, from conspicuous species to those that cause human disease and economic hardship. The roles played by evolution and extinction, fluxes of energy, water, biochemicals, and dispersal. Experiments demonstrating interactions of managed and unmanaged biotic with the hydrologic cycle, energy budgets, nutrient cycles, the carbon budget, and soil processes.
Class Notes:
Lab meetings for Geog 1403 will begin the 2nd week of classes.
Class Description:
INSTRUCTOR: The trees, birds, grasses, fishes, mammals, and smaller organisms of the Earth are distributed in striking geographical patterns. These spatial and temporal differences in the types and diversity of organisms are the result of geographic processes of dispersal as well as the processes of evolution, adaptation, and extinction. Students will explore: (1) how the biological components of global environments create geographically and temporally varied resource patterns; (2) how the connections between the biotic and abiotic components of environmental systems interrelate; (3) how humans and natural processes bring about changes to the physical environment; (4) how to use simple experiments and models to examine biogeographical patterns, and to evaluate the results; and (5) how to describe and explain the role and place of science and scientific methods in modern society. In the laboratory, students will make observations, and use maps and simple simulation models to evaluate the sensitivity of organisms to environmental variables. Students will learn: (1) how the outcomes from the interactions of organisms with their environment vary geographically, and (2) why the outcomes frequently fail to support commonly held assumptions about the climatic controls on biotic distributions.
