 TEACHING Spring 2009 Ecosystem Services, a Graduate Seminar - Zoology 955 or 956 (Limnology or Ecology Seminar), 2 Credits. Co-instructed with Monica Turner, Steve Carpenter, Jake Vander Zanden, Bill Provencher, and David Lewis. Ecosystem services, the benefits that ecosystems provide to people, are increasingly used as a framework for understanding and managing social-ecological systems. Basic research and policy analysis for ecosystem services are expanding rapidly. The goal of this interdisciplinary seminar is to provide students with an overview of the literature, concepts and current research directions in this emerging field. We will include an overview of what ecosystem services are, how the concept of ecosystem services has evolved, how people use ecosystem services, and issues of valuing and enumerating tradeoffs among different services. The seminar will also provide practical experience through a class project to assess the ecosystem services of the Yahara River Watershed (the watershed of the Madison lakes). Thus, students must be prepared to read current literature, lead discussion of assigned readings at least once and to engage actively in a group project. Fall 2009 Agronomy 875 – Agroecosystems and Global Change (23 students). This course examines how agroecosystems have been impacted by global change, how agricultural land management has contributed to emerging environmental problems – but is also being viewed as a means to solve new issues (e.g., bioenergy), and how global change drivers (e.g., climate, atmospheric chemistry, land management, and policy) are likely to impact agroecosystems and the goods and services we derive from them. Sections of the course include: (1) an introduction to the global change drivers that impact the structure and functioning of agroecosystems; (2) how agricultural land use is an important global change driver; (3) how land management can impact the climate system and contribute to further global warming or mitigation of it; (4) study of the concept of “ecosystem goods and services” derived from agriculture, and emerging issues related to sustainability and biofuels; and (5) a summary of how ecological modeling tools are used to study these complex problems of the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The course concludes with a detailed analysis of four case studies of U.S. agriculture and environmental issues – related to concepts covered earlier in the course. Fall 2004 through Spring 2006 Helped to develop (with Carol Barford and Jon Foley) and offer the Web-based, distance learning (D2L) course “Humans and the Changing Biosphere”, [Atmospheric Sciences 401/Environmental Studies 400] for 4 semesters from fall 2004 through spring 2006. This course was designed to give undergraduate and beginning graduate students an interdisciplinary perspective of how humans are perturbing natural biogeochemical (water, carbon, nitrogen, etc.) cycles and the global climate system by using multiple research projects (with a regional focus) as case studies. The course was taught with three ideas in mind: 1. How is human civilization changing, especially in terms of our use of natural resources and releases of environmental pollutants? How are changes in population, economic development, technology and culture shape our relationship to the global environment? 2. How are human activities changing the global environment? How do our agricultural practices, which have already cleared a significant fraction of the land surface and subjected them to artificial fertilizers and irrigation, affect the environment? How do our energy use practices, especially those that have released tremendous amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, affect the environment. 3. What are the implications of global environmental change? How will a changing global environment affect the availability and geographic distribution of key resources, such as fresh water, food and clean air? How might the changing distribution of these resources affect the geopolitical forces at work in the world? Will a changing environment lead to greater instability and diminished global security?
