GEOG 330 Introduction to Remote Sensing

Introduction to remote sensing principles, techniques, and applications, designed principally for those with no background in the field.

Offered:
Fall 2022
Summer 2022
Spring 2022

PLS 448A Plant Biochemistry and Metabolic Engineering

Covering topics in plant metabolic engineering; photosynthesis; carbohydrate, nitrogen and lipid metabolism; specialized metabolism. This course covers biochemical processes specific to plants and allows students to gain an understanding and appreciation of how (bio)chemical components are synthesized and utilized by plants during growth and development and in their interactions with their environment, as well as how these processes can be manipulated. A background in plant biology, general biochemistry or chemistry is expected. Note that concurrent registration in any of these courses will NOT meet this requirement. Students must have completed both semesters of O-chem and a biochemistry course that covers general metabolism prior to taking this course.

Fall 2022

MIC 452 Antibiotics - A Biological Perspective

Antibiotics - a biological perspective provides an introduction to the major classes of antibiotics, their modes of action, the threat and reality of antibiotic resistant "superbugs", as well as the biosynthesis, microbiological role, discovery, and industrial production of these compounds. The course will concentrate on the microbiological, genetic, and molecular biological aspects of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance, with less emphasis on chemistry. Thus, it complements but does not replace other courses that may detail the chemical synthesis and medicinal chemistry of these compounds, or concentrate on their medical or veterinary application as drugs. The course is designed to increase the awareness and appreciation of the importance of antibiotics and anti-infective research in an age when: cheap and failsafe antibiotic cures are considered a birthright in developed countries while lacking in the rest of the world; antibiotic use and misuse is prevalent in medicine, veterinary practice, and agriculture; antibiotic agents increasingly lose effectiveness due to emerging resistance; and anti-infective research has been severely curtailed by pharmaceutical companies.

GEOG 483 Geographic Applications of Remote Sensing

Use of aircraft and satellite imagery for monitoring landforms, soils, vegetation and land use, with the focus on problems of land-use planning, resource management and related topics.

Offered:
Spring 2022

REM 490 Remote Sensing for the Study of Planet Earth

Remote Sensing for the Study of Planet Earth introduces basic and applied remote sensing science as a means to explore the diversity of our planetary environments (biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere) within the radiometric, spectral, spatial, angular and temporal domains of remote sensing systems. This survey course strikes a balance between theory, applications and hands-on labs and assignments. We explore how you can download, process, analyze and interpret multi-sensor data and integrate online remotely sensed data sources/products into your research of interest.

Offered:
Fall 2022

ARL 565 Physical Aspects of Arid Lands

The climate, landforms, hydrology, soils and vegetation of deserts, with special emphasis on processes and distribution at micro-to-macro scales.

Offered:
Fall 2022

ARL 595A Current Research

The exchange of scholarly information and/or secondary research, usually in a small group setting. Instruction often includes lectures by several different persons. Research projects may or may not be required of course registrants.

Offered:
Fall 2022
