FRS 5073 Sp<strong>at</strong>ial St<strong>at</strong>istics3 credits: 2 hours lecture, 3 hours labor<strong>at</strong>oryPrerequisites: FRS 5113 and FRS 5043. This is ananalytical, problem-based course th<strong>at</strong> explores the field<strong>of</strong> sp<strong>at</strong>ial st<strong>at</strong>istics. In lectures and labor<strong>at</strong>ory exercisesstudents will use st<strong>at</strong>istical tools to determine p<strong>at</strong>terns<strong>of</strong> sp<strong>at</strong>ial variability across a wide variety <strong>of</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a sets.Some <strong>of</strong> the topics th<strong>at</strong> will be explored includeuniversal kriging, cokriging, inverse distanceweighting, trend surface analyses, and threedimensional analysis for terrain and surface modeling.FRS 5083 Digital Photogrammetry3 credits: 2 hours lecture, 3 hours labor<strong>at</strong>oryPrerequisites: FRS 5113, SIS 3814, and FRS 5063. Imagemosaicing, digital orthophoto cre<strong>at</strong>ion, aerialtriangul<strong>at</strong>ion, single image and block triangul<strong>at</strong>ion,ground control, digital terrain modeling extraction,orthorectific<strong>at</strong>ion, and mono and stereo terrain modelediting.FRS 5093 D<strong>at</strong>a Base Design and Management3 credits: 2 hours lecture, 3 hours labor<strong>at</strong>oryPrerequisites: FRS 5113 and SIS 3814. This course isdesigned to provide a comprehensive understanding <strong>of</strong>d<strong>at</strong>abase management systems. Particular emphasiswill be placed on the management <strong>of</strong> sp<strong>at</strong>ial d<strong>at</strong>a andassoci<strong>at</strong>ed applic<strong>at</strong>ions. Logical vector and raster d<strong>at</strong>astructure organiz<strong>at</strong>ion, analysis, and design will beinvestig<strong>at</strong>ed in depth. Rel<strong>at</strong>ional d<strong>at</strong>abase systems andobject oriented d<strong>at</strong>abases will both be studied. D<strong>at</strong>abasedesign techniques using entity-rel<strong>at</strong>ionship diagramsfor d<strong>at</strong>a modeling will be introduced as well asd<strong>at</strong>abase access and manipul<strong>at</strong>ion using structurequery language (SQL).FRS 5102 Research Methods2 credits: 2 hours lectureIntroduction to the conceptual and technical aspects <strong>of</strong>research. Topics include the scientific method, sciencereasoning, liter<strong>at</strong>ure searching, scientific writing, andethics.FRS 5113 St<strong>at</strong>istics in Research I3 credits: 2 hours lecture, 2 hours labor<strong>at</strong>oryFundamental concepts and applic<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> st<strong>at</strong>isticswith focus on n<strong>at</strong>ural resources. Probability anddistribution theory; estim<strong>at</strong>ion and hypothesis testsinvolving one parameter; hypothesis tests involvingtwo parameters; simple and multiple linear regression.Use <strong>of</strong> st<strong>at</strong>istical s<strong>of</strong>tware.FRS 5123 St<strong>at</strong>istics in Research II3 credits: 2 hours lecture, 2 hours labor<strong>at</strong>oryPrerequisite: FRS 5113 or permission <strong>of</strong> instructor.Essential concepts and applic<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> st<strong>at</strong>istics withfocus on n<strong>at</strong>ural resources. Analysis <strong>of</strong> variance;multiple range tests; analysis <strong>of</strong> covariance; higherorder experimental designs; c<strong>at</strong>egorical d<strong>at</strong>a; non-linearregression. Use <strong>of</strong> st<strong>at</strong>istical s<strong>of</strong>tware.FRS 5133 Wildlife-Habit<strong>at</strong> Rel<strong>at</strong>ionships3 credits: 3 hours lecturePrerequisite: One course in wildlife ecology orpermission <strong>of</strong> instructor. Advanced concepts inwildlife-habit<strong>at</strong> rel<strong>at</strong>ionships. Combines study <strong>of</strong>n<strong>at</strong>ural history and ecological theory to investig<strong>at</strong>e anddiscuss wildlife-habit<strong>at</strong> concepts.FRS 5143 Landscape Ecology3 credits: 3 hours lecturePrerequisite: One course in ecology or permission <strong>of</strong>instructor. Advanced concepts associ<strong>at</strong>ed withlandscape ecology. Study <strong>of</strong> sp<strong>at</strong>ial vari<strong>at</strong>ion inlandscapes <strong>at</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> scales. Includes biophysicaland societal causes and consequences <strong>of</strong> landscapeheterogeneity.FRS 5153 Wildlife Popul<strong>at</strong>ion Analysis andManagement3 credits: 2 hours lecture, 3 hours labor<strong>at</strong>oryIntroduction to the techniques used in the analysis,interpret<strong>at</strong>ion, and management <strong>of</strong> wildlifepopul<strong>at</strong>ions. Measures <strong>of</strong> abundance, dispersal,fecundity and mortality, popul<strong>at</strong>ion modeling,competition and pred<strong>at</strong>ion, and the management <strong>of</strong>rare species and their habit<strong>at</strong>s are discussed in detail.FRS 5203 Human Dimensions in N<strong>at</strong>ural Resources3 credits: 3 hours lectureFound<strong>at</strong>ions for understanding human-n<strong>at</strong>uralresource rel<strong>at</strong>ionships. Development <strong>of</strong> a theoreticalunderstanding <strong>of</strong> the importance <strong>of</strong> viewing humans aspart <strong>of</strong> the n<strong>at</strong>ural resource decision making process.FRS 5223 Forest Ecosystem Ecology3 credits: 3 hours lecturePrerequisites: Gradu<strong>at</strong>e st<strong>at</strong>us and one course inecology. Advance study into the structure and function<strong>of</strong> forest ecosystems including current and foundingtheories on energy flow, nutrient cycling, temporalchange in and disturbance <strong>of</strong> ecosystems, landscapeand sp<strong>at</strong>ial rel<strong>at</strong>ionships, biodiversity, and anthropogenicalter<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> ecosystems.FRS 5233 N<strong>at</strong>ural Resource Policy3 credits: 3 hours lectureFound<strong>at</strong>ions for understanding forest and n<strong>at</strong>uralresource policy. Includes historical context as well associal, biological, and political constraints andramific<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> policy.FRS 5283 Advanced Wood Properties and Products3 credits: 3 hours lectureStructure and properties (physical and mechanical) <strong>of</strong>wood, tree growth and wood properties, and woodproducts (processing and raw m<strong>at</strong>erials).FRS 5253 Advanced Forest Economics3 credits: 3 hours lecturePrerequisites: FOR 4673 or equivalent; MATH 1073 orequivalent; FRS 5113 and FRS 5123.
