Wetland Ecology & Management
Wetlands are ecologically and agriculturally important ecosystems within Alberta. They are subject to protection, conservation, and compensation policies, which require in depth knowledge of their structure, function, and classification. Topics include wetland classification and remote sensing, biogeochemical processes, ecological succession, and the Alberta wetland policy. Human constructed wetlands and their design will also be discussed.
