Course Goals
Road ecology is the collaborative multi-disciplinary investigation of the impacts of road networks on natural systems and the development of new integrated approaches to transportation, natural systems and land use planning and project development. This seminar-series will cover the emerging science of road ecology including impacts on wildlife and plant communities, landscape connectivity, and watershed processes. We will focus on conceptualizing and geographically defining the “Road-Effect Zone” – that part of landscapes and waterways affected by roads and road-systems. Speakers from campus and public agencies will add to the multi-disciplinary nature of this seminar.
