ES 352 Building Energy Solutions

Instructor: K. Kellogg

An application of engineering and ecological-based concepts and principles to the design and implementation of renewable and energy-efficiency projects. Lecture, field tours, and discussions with professionals in energy-related fields will help deepen our understanding of innovative yet practical solutions to help meet our growing energy demands in a low-carbon way. The emphasis of the course will be the development of project recommendations for a suite of issues and needs identified and guided by various community partners, with the ultimate goal of our analyses pushing the implementation of local and regional energy solutions.

Prerequisite: ES 222

BI 352 North Woods Almanac

Instructor: J. Ness

This lecture-lab course focuses on a place-centered ecology of time, loosely modeled after investigations that led to publications such as A Sand County Almanac or Walden. The 鈥減lace鈥� is a reference to the forests, fields, and aquatic habitats of th North Country, typified by habitats in 麻豆女郎鈥檚 North Woods. The 鈥渢ime鈥� is a reference to the occurrence of various biological phenomena (e.g., budburst, first flowering, amphibian reproduction, avian migration, hibernation / diapause) that progress across a season and year. The course will utilize first-hand observation, remote sensing, citizen science, and historical records to build models 鈥� both descriptive and predictive 鈥� of how and why various biologies develop differently across landscapes over time. Focal organisms will include plants, insects, birds, and mammals, and we鈥檒l perpetuate a 20+ year study of spring dispersal and reproduction by wood frogs at the Saratoga National Historical Park.

Prerequisite: 200-level BI course

RE 230 American Celestial Wonder

Instructor: J. Padilioni

By way of course readings, multimedia sources, and assignments, this class investigates the experience of celestial wonder as a primary impulse of American religious history. Through an affect theory frame that approaches religious experience through embodied emotions, this course chronicles several spectacular cosmic-planetary events in American history that so overwhelmed their observers that these experiences formed the basis of religious expression. We track the formation of American religious communities and religious ways of knowing that arose from encounters with the celestial spectacular. From these case studies that focus on th sky realm, students will appreciate the depth of the contest of meaning over the landscape of American that emerged from the antagonistic structural relations between indigenous Americans, European settler-colonists, and enslaved Africans. Students will interpret these events as an ecocritical commentary that demonstrates the planetary scale and scope of our human actions. This course offers students an opportunity to cultivate their own sensibilities of everyday wonder as a necessary response to the chief problem of the Anthropocene 鈥� human exceptionalism 鈥� and its attendant practices of ecological dominion, exploitation, extraction, and extinction.

ID 351 Advanced Topics in GIS and Modeling

Instructor: N. Menkiti

This course provides an in-depth experience in applied GIS, remote sensing, and cartography. Students will develop skills in spatial analysis, remote sensing, and data science related to both the biophysical and social sciences. Students will become versed in advanced software applications for ArcGIS Pro and an introduction to command line analysis in Google Earth Engine (JavaScript), Python, and R using both remotely-sensed and vector-based data. Thie course will provide an additional focus on profession map production for publication and application. As an interdisciplinary course, topics will be adjusted to match student backgrounds with the opportunity to individually explore topics specific to student interests through semester-long applied project work.

Prerequisite: ID 210
