Sustainable Environmental Management
How can you reduce your carbon footprint?
What is meant by industrial ecology?
What role does sustainability play in ecosystems and in biodiversity?
How have whole communities moved toward more sustainable living?
Why are NJ's telephone poles covered with solar panels?
How do human behavior, needs and values influence the choices we make?
What can you do to make a difference?
These and other questions will be addressed in this summer online class
offered by Rutgers University. The course (11:704:320) will run July 25 -
Aug 17. Registration is currently open to Rutgers and non-Rutgers students.

Conservation Techniques
Many environmental classes teach the fundamental theory of conservation.
This class takes these concepts one step further by addressing how this
knowledge can be used in the practice of conservation and management. This
summer online course at Rutgers University is an introduction to the diverse
ways that ecological information is used for regulation, decision-making and
conservation actions. Case studies will focus on endangered species
protection and recovery, re-wilding, bioassessment, adaptive management, GAP
analysis and others.

issues related to sustainability, conservation, water quality,
transportation, economic development, urban sprawl, and wetland health
throughout the United States and in China, Haiti, Yemen, Mongolia,
Mozambique, and Honduras. She is currently a visiting scholar at Rutgers
University, a research associate at the University of Maryland, and an
