Course Description

An examination of ecological and earth system processes that affect the dynamics of organisms, their spatial patterns and their variability in time.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Develop a critical understanding of key concepts related to ecological and historical biogeography.
  2. Explain the impacts of contemporary environmental issues on biophysical processes and environmental change that influence species distribution.
  3. Apply understanding of how the physical environment and biological interactions can influence species distribution and abundance at different scales.
  4. Analyze global species distribution patterns as a function of climate, latitude, glacial history, and geological history.
