*Sustainable Environmental Management*
How can you reduce your carbon footprint?
What is meant by industrial ecology?
What role does sustainability play in ecosystems and in biodiversity?
How have whole communities moved toward more sustainable living?
Why are NJ's telephone poles covered with solar panels?
How do human behavior, needs and values influence the choices we make?
What can you do to make a difference?
*Conservation Techniques*
Many environmental classes teach the fundamental theory of conservation.
This class takes these concepts one step further by addressing how this
knowledge can be used in the practice of conservation and management. This
summer online course at Rutgers University is an introduction to the diverse
ways that ecological information is used for regulation, decision-making and
conservation actions. Case studies will focus on endangered species
protection and recovery, re-wilding, bioassessment, adaptive management, GAP
analysis and others.
Both courses (11:704:320 - Sustainable Environmental Management and
11:704:470 - Conservation Techniques) will run July 23 - August 15. For

The instructor for both courses, Marci Meixler, PhD, has over 18 years of
experience in the field of ecology working on large- and small-scale
projects in the areas of environmental and socio-economic decision-making,
land use and community planning, and engineering. Her work has addressed
issues related to sustainability, conservation, water quality,
transportation, economic development, urban sprawl, and wetland health
throughout the United States and in China, Haiti, Yemen, Mongolia,
