水的问题一直很复杂，随着世界人口的增加和气候变化，水的问题变得更加复杂和有争议。水资源集中为您提供了这个日益重要的领域所需的解决问题的技能。您将通过湿地生态学和管理，溪流生态学，地下水流量和水质建模以及渔业管理等课程来学习环境中水的生物和物理方面。您将开发各种技能，包括建模，污染预防，流域评估，湿地恢复和废水处理。您将添加环境管理和政策方面的培训，以确保您可以将科学知识转化为公众和政策制定者。
Always complicated, the issue of water is becoming even more complex and controversial as world population increases and climate changes. The water resources concentration gives you the problem-solving skills needed in this increasingly important field. You’ll learn about biological and physical aspects of water in the environment through courses including wetland ecology and management, stream ecology, groundwater-flow and water-quality modeling, and fisheries management. You’ll develop a wide range of skills, including modeling, pollution prevention, watershed assessment, wetland restoration, and wastewater treatment. You’ll add training in environmental management and policy to ensure that you can translate your science to the public and policymakers. Graduate well-positioned for careers with government, nonprofit organizations, consulting firms, industry-based departments of environmental management at international or national levels, or fast-growing and often innovative state and municipal organizations.
