Wetland Delineation, Classification, and Assessment

Through lec­ture, class­room and field exer­cis­es, stu­dents can expect to learn meth­ods to iden­ti­fy wet­lands and delin­eate their bound­aries based on indi­ca­tors of veg­e­ta­tion, soils, and hydrol­o­gy, in addi­tion to con­duct­ing desk­top delin­eations through aer­i­al pho­to inter­pre­ta­tion. Oth­er top­ics to be cov­ered include wet­land clas­si­fi­ca­tion, impact and assess reports, and rel­a­tive-val­ue assess­ments. Pri­or knowl­edge of soils and veg­e­ta­tion is help­ful, but not required.
