    Description
    The reduction of species diversity is a major indicator of the health of complete ecosystem. This class explores the science, tools and practice of conserving and managing biodiversity. Students learn to implement the exciting tools of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Satellite Imaging and Database Management, along with an understanding of the expanding career opportunities in these fields. Extensive use is made of local Mojave Desert case studies.
