GSS Develops Courses for New Minor

GeoSpatial Services has partnered with the SMUMN Biology Department to develop new coursework as part of the Natural Resources Management Minor. The Wetland Ecology and Management course kicked off in fall, instructed by GSS staff, Katie Engelmann, PWS. The class explores dimensions of wetland science including hydrology, biological adaptations, plant identification, management, and policy. Students visited a number of regional wetlands and gained valuable technical skills such as wetland delineation, hydric soils identification, and wetland quality assessments.
