required. Half or one course for undergraduates. 1 to 3 units for graduate students. Instructor:<br />
Staff. Variable credit.<br />
285. Land Use Principles and Policy. Consideration <strong>of</strong> four major roles <strong>of</strong> land in <strong>the</strong><br />
United States: as a producer <strong>of</strong> commodities, financial asset, component <strong>of</strong> environmental<br />
systems, and location <strong>of</strong> development. Analysis <strong>of</strong> market allocation <strong>of</strong> land, market failure,<br />

287L. Geospatial Analysis for Water Resources Management. Spatial analysis and<br />
image processing applications to support water resources management: water quality,<br />
flooding, and water supply primarily at watershed scale. Topics include water resources data<br />
modeling, terrain modeling and processing, river and watershed network analysis, and<br />
geospatial modeling <strong>of</strong> hydrologic processes. Knowledge <strong>of</strong> geospatial analysis <strong>the</strong>ory and<br />
analysis tools required. Prerequisite: Environment 259. Consent <strong>of</strong> instructor required.<br />
Instructor: Staff. 4 units.<br />
292L. Biological Oceanography. Physical, chemical, and biological processes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
