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.
