    Students in a Soil Science program examine the formation, distribution, functioning, and management of soils as it relates to natural and managed ecosystems with important linkages to the atmosphere, groundwater, and surface water.

  • Entomology, M.S. and Ph.D.
    View Our Faculty
    Entomology graduate students study a variety of scientific issues related to insects across the globe, including biodiversity and classification of insects, management and landscape ecology of insect pests, statistical analysis and interpretation of entomological and other types of data, and the use of insect herbivores as biological control agents to manage invasive weeds.

  • Reclamation and Restoration Ecology, Certificate
    View Our Faculty
    This certificate prepares students to use ecological concepts to reclaim and/or restore processes and functions to disturbed ecosystems. Reclamation and/or restoration of disturbed ecosystems requires an understanding of the edaphic, biotic, hydrologic, geologic, and topographic factors comprising these ecosystems, including the complex interrelationships that support and perpetuate ecosystem function.

  • Water Resources, M.S.
    This interdisciplinary program requires students to be based in a department but allows students to have a cross-departmental curriculum.  Students in Water Resources develop interdisciplinary perspectives and training, and the program is flexible so as to meet the individual professional objectives of students.
