A brief description of the graduate minor, concentration or certificate (1st program):
This program focuses on management of aquatic resources as they affect biological systems. Course offerings include environmental toxicology, watershed ecology, and professional communication strategies. In the past 20 years, faculty and students in this program had significantly influenced EPA emission policies dealing with acid and mercury deposition derived from coal-fired power plants. Students and faculty in this program have also significantly advanced policies that affect our understanding of how the Mississippi River and lakes and streams in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota can be sustained when confronted with multiple users with disparate interests.
