Fall 2012
TOPERE 496/596: Ecosystem Restoration Design (Mexico)
Begin Fall 2012 semester a wee bit early – spending 14 days in Mexico! We will be traveling throughout Chiapas, Mexico, where we will look at degraded and pristine jungle, streams, cloud forest…visit Mayan villages and climb Mayan temples…meet with Latin American professional experts on restoration and indigenous groups who have restored ecosystems for centuries. You’ll get back on campus before the semester begins. This trip will inform restoration designs that will be part of the class as it continues through the fall semester.
Mexico Trip: 14 days
August 5-August 18, 2012
We’ll be staying in hostels and traveling on public transportation to keep costs low!
Limited to first 12 students!
Open to all ESF upper division and graduate students. During the semester (when we get back from Mexico), we will continue to explore the state of the science and engineering of ecosystem restoration. We will examine prairie, forest, wetland, stream, lake, coral reef, and urban ecosystems, among others. We will consider how stakeholders are incorporated into ecosystem restoration design, and how culture and government can help in developing a framework for sustainable ecosystem restoration projects. Satisfies a senior engineering elective for ERE students.
