J. Alan Yeakley - Teaching Activities

Courses I will teach during the 2008-2009 academic year:

• Environmental Sustainability (ESR 588), an analysis of ecosystem dynamics and their relation to and management by social and economic systems (Fall 2008).
• Urban Ecology (ESR 428/528), an analysis of physical, floral and faunal responses in ecosystems to urbanization (Fall 2008).
• Environmental Systems II (ESR 321), an analysis of ecological systemsincludes a field laboratory in a nearby 300 ha forested watershed (Winter 2009).
• Environmental Systems II Laboratory (ESR 324), a field-based analysis forest soil, vegetation and nutrient distribution and dynamics in a nearby 300 ha forested watershed (Winter 2009).
• Watershed Biogeochemistry (ESR 427/527), an analysis of mineral and nutrient fluxes processes and cycling in terrestrial ecosystems (Winter 2009)
• Watershed Hydrology (ESR 525), an analysis of hydrologic processes in watersheds including soil moisture dynamics, evapotranspiration and streamflow (Spring 2009).

Undergraduate courses I have taught in the Environmental Science & Management Dept at Portland State University include:

• Environmental Systems I (ESR 320), an analysis of physical environmental systems (primarily climatic and hydrologic), includes a field laboratory in watersheds in the Portland area.
• Environmental Systems II (ESR 321), an analysis of ecological systems, includes a field laboratory in a nearby 300 ha forested watershed.
• Environmental Systems II Laboratory (ESR 323, 324), a field-based analysis forest hydrology, soil, vegetation and nutrient distribution and dynamics in a nearby 300 ha forested watershed.
• Environmental Studies Orientation (ESR 150), an introduction to environmental professions.
• Environmental Studies Seminar (ESR 407)
• Environmental Sustainability of Argentine Cities, taught in Rosario , Argentina. .
• Environmental Sustainability of Argentina, taught in Rosario , Argentina.

Graduate courses I have taught in the Environmental Sciences and Resources masters and doctoral programs at PSU include:

• Environmental Sustainability (ESR 588), an analysis of ecosystem dynamics and their relation to and management by social and economic systems (Fall 2005).

• Watershed Biogeochemistry (ESR 527), an analysis of mineral and nutrient fluxes processes and cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.

• Urban Ecology (ESR 528), an analysis of physical, floral and faunal responses in ecosystems to urbanization.
• Watershed Hydrology (ESR 525), an analysis of hydrologic processes in watersheds including soil moisture dynamics, evapotranspiration and streamflow.
• Ecological Modeling (ESR 510), a course in environmental problem solving using elementary compartment models and systems analysis.
• Ecosystem Services: Societal Benefits of Ecological Systems (ESR 410/510), a study of the conditions and processes through which ecological systems, and the species that inhabit them, interact with and sustain human societies.
• Environmental Sciences and Resources Seminar (ESR 507)
