Special Topics: The Forest Carbon Cycle (Cr.3)

Email: gray@imcs.rutgers.edu
Registration limited. Note special schedule. Course meets everyday 6/8/09-6/12/09, 9:00am-4:30pm, off-campus at the Pinelands Field Station. In this class, we will examine ecosystem input/output and storage of CO2. Exercises will include measures of biomass input through primary and secondary production, output through decomposition and respiration, and storage in above and below ground pools. The class will entail lecture and hands on laboratory and field work. In the field we will learn about micrometeorological techniques (eddy covariance) to measure CO2 exchange between the atmosphere and the forest canopy, and how these measures can be extended from regional to global scales. Aboveground biomass will be measured using forest census and allometric equations and remote sensing techniques (LIDAR). We will also measure aboveground and belowground biomass production, soil carbon pools and respiration. In the laboratory we will analyze a number of different soil carbon pools such as microbial biomass, soil organic matter and
dissolved organic carbon. Students will be required to keep a journal of activities. Final grade will be dependent on production of a final report.
Special Topics: Ecology (Cr.3)

Number theory is one of the oldest branches of pure mathematics, and one of the largest. It concenrs questions about numbers, integers or rationals. Elementary number theory involves divisibilty among integers: the division algorithm, the Euclidean algorithm, elementary properties of prime numbers (the unique factorization theorem, the infinitude of primes), congruences (and the structure of the sets Z/nZ as cummutative rings), including Fermet's little theorem and Euler's theorem extending it.

Cross listed with: 53:620:678. Awareness that greening initiatives can create competitive advantage has reached a tipping point. Increasingly companies no longer think of environmental performance as just about compliance, now they are looking for ways to integrate environmental stewardship into their business strategy, operations and innovation designs. Emerging from this awareness are new ways of doing business that are both profitable and environmentally sound. In this course we will study examples on the cutting edge of these developments. We will look at corporations that are creating a “double bottom line” by strategizing about the ecological impact of their decisions, as well as the economic impact. We will learn about industrial designers who are rethinking everything from tennis shoes to corporate headquarters’ buildings with the environment in mind. We will consider new alliances between business and environmental NGOs—both stakeholders in a sustainable society. This course is organized around three major shifts in the business world that are driving environmental initiatives beyond compliance. The first shift is from a world of plentiful natural resources and scarce labor, at the first industrial revolution, to the current situation: plentiful labor and scarcer natural resources. The second shift is from a practice of minimizing industrial waste to a principle of eliminating – not reducing – the very concept of waste. The third shift is from designing almost all products and services for the wealthiest one billion people in the world, to developing emerging markets with a smaller environmental footprint.

Crosslisted with 50:790:388. Since 9/11, every public administrator has, in some way, taken on homeland security responsibilities. Many public facilities are part of the national critical infrastructure or key resources and are vulnerable to terrorism or natural and industrial disasters. The privately owned assets that are on the target list fall into some public jurisdiction. Public managers cannot escape scrutiny if they fail to recognize their new responsibilities. These may be overt and conscious, such as those functions performed by emergency management, police, fire, and EMS services in their first responder roles. Other duties may not be so conspicuous, but never the less, are vital to the public’s security as well. For instance, public administrators must develop, draw down grant money, budget, plan, schedule, and complete “hardening” projects; create public awareness campaigns and employee terrorism awareness programs; plan for post event security counter-measures for the non-first responder public workforce; and ensure the continuity of their respective government agency after an all-hazards event. This is simply the tip of the iceberg. Public managers and administrators often learn these new tasks on the job. This course is designed to provide otherwise competent public administrators and managers with a foundational knowledge base of homeland security practices.

Municipal and county governments remain the general-purpose public service delivery organizations of the US political system. It is the level closest to the citizenry and faces high levels of demand for accountability by the citizenry. The responsibilities of local government include but are not limited to: land use, public safety, streets and roads, parks and recreation, building codes, water supply and waste-water disposal, solid waste, elections, and education. We will look at the local government manager’s position in this sometimes muddled system including the processes of decision making and planning, the emphasis of service delivery and productivity, the impact of intergovernmental relationships between local, county, state, and federal governments, and the relationship between non-profit and private sectors.
