About the Department of Natural Resource Sciences
About the Department of Natural Resource Sciences
As humans depend on a wide variety of ecosystem services, society is becoming increasingly aware of the need for sustainable management of natural resources. We require the natural world to provide us with necessities such air, water, food, and energy, but also depend on ecosystems for services such as nutrient cycling, biodiversity, recreation, and the splendor of nature. Sustainable management of natural resources via governance of human activities requires an understanding of all of these elements.
The Department of Natural Resource Sciences is a multidisciplinary group with a wide range of interests including wildlife and fish biology, entomology, agriculture, soil science, microbiology, genomics, meteorology, forest science, landscape ecology, agricultural and resource economics, and environmental policy. We are concerned with populations and diversity of organisms within ecosystems; the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems; and processes that influence human behavior toward ecosystem services and the environment. Our graduate programs in agricultural economics, entomology, microbiology, and renewable resources, allow students to gain disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth. Natural Resource Sciences plays a strong role in several undergraduate programs, from the inter-departmental Majors in:
- Environmental Biology
- Life Sciences (Biological and Agricultural)
- Environment (缅北强奸 School of Environment)
- Agro-Environmental Sciences
- Agricultural Economics
to the Specializations such as:
