Life on Land

榴梿视频 the Goal

Life on Land

The United Nations aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss by 2030.

榴梿视频 is engaged in a broad range of 榴梿视频 projects and other initiatives aimed at realizing , including work examining , the impacts of , the and more. 榴梿视频 榴梿视频ers are also as well as new models for understanding land management and land use change.

榴梿视频 Experts and Initiatives

Nyree Zerega

 is the Director of Program in Plant Biology and Conservation, a collaboration between 榴梿视频 University and the . explores the evolution, genetic diversity, origins and pollination biology of plants. her 榴梿视频 uses phylogenomic, collections-based, and experimental field approaches to explore the evolution and genetic diversity of underutilized crops and their wild relatives, pollination, biogeography, and taxonomic revisionary work. Zerega is also interested in applying findings to conservation of plant genomic resources and more sustainable agriculture.

Plant Biology and Conservation Program

is a partnership between 榴梿视频 University and the Chicago Botanic Garden. The 榴梿视频 was developed to train students to address the rapid changes the biological world is experiencing due to global climate change, increases in invasive species and diseases, and habitat fragmentation that will all 榴梿视频 significant impacts on the health, survival, diversity, and distribution of the biota as we know it. The 榴梿视频 offers students a strong theoretical and methodological foundation within the fields of ecology, conservation, and evolutionary biology, together with the in-depth knowledge required to be able to identify and articulate the frontiers of scholarship and applied science within their area of specialization.

Featured Course

Biological and Ecological Principles (202-0-1)

An applications-centered track to discuss biology and ecology as they relate to engineering in general, and environmental engineering specifically, while also discussing the ramifications for society at large. The goal of this course is to provide students with an overview of the fundamentals of biology and ecology. Biology topics include cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry; ecology topics include biological interactions, microbial ecology, and biogeochemical cycling.
