GEOG 4530 Biogeography
3 cr.
A study of the origin distribution adaptation and association of
biota (plants and animals) emphasizing geographical relationships.
Plant communities are correlated with climate and soil on a worldwide
basis. Methods of dispersal and migration are studied along
with past geological events that have affected biotic distribution.

GEOG 4540 Biogeography of Birds
3 cr.
This course will investigate bird distribution patterns and resource
use patterns on several spatial scales. Broad geographic patterns
will be discussed, including patterns of migration and avian zoogeography.
Distributional patterns will be interpreted in terms of
the habitat use and behavior of birds at different stages in their
annual cycles. Field observations of species nesting around the UNO
campus will be incorporated to complement lecture information.

GEOG 4550 Coastal Environments
3 cr.
A study of the coastal areas of the world as natural environments,
as resources, and as human habitats. Topics covered will include the
geomorphology of coasts, coastal oceanography, coastal resources,
prehistoric and modern human settlement patterns, the coast as an
environmental hazard, and coastal zone management. A substantial
amount of time will be devoted to Southern Louisiana.

GEOG 4600 History & Practice of Planning
3 cr.
(MURP 4600 and GEOG 4600 are cross-listed) This course introduces
students to the history and practice of urban planning in
the United States from its origins in the colonial era through the
evolution of planning thought and programs in the 20th century.
It also provides students with an understanding of how planning
has evolved through recent history, and is being practiced currently.
Emphasis will be placed on the components of comprehensive
planning, the implementation of modern city plans, and the
discussion of current planning issues.
