Teaching

Until this year I have taught a graduate course entitled "Adaptive Management of Renewable Resource Systems" in the fall semester of odd-numbered years.  With my new appointment as Department Chairperson, I will not be teaching the course this fall. I hope to resume teaching the course when my administrative appointment ends. The course introduces students to the challenge of dealing with uncertainty when managing fish and wildlife resources. We examine the literature on this subject, with emphasis on adaptive management and decision analysis.  We learn about basic quantitative techniques of modeling and risk assessment. And we work together on a realistic case study, wherein we aim to apply what we have learned from the readings, discussion and computer assignments. If you're interested in finding out more about the course, see the syllabus and outline for the most recent offering of FW854 (fall 2007).
