EEB 5370: Ecosystem services (Spring 2015)
This year, the topic will be ecosystem services. During the first half of the semester we will read review articles to assess the current state of thinking about the topic. The second half of the semester will be more "hand-on" and will involve investigating some of the tools available for actually quantifying ecosystem services. We will start by examining TESSA and, if time allows, we will also take a look at InVEST. If you know of other tools, please let me know and we can look at those too.
