Road Ecology Course

Course Goals
This course will draw from a wide variety of resources to explore the impacts roads have on the environment and to discuss the solutions and design aspects that are revolutionizing transportation and guiding it in the 21st century. Students will explore the theoretical and applied aspects of road ecology and will be provided with an integrated tool kit from which they can draw from to solve problems.
