Degree Offered

Master of Science, PhD

Program Description:

Human domination of ecosystems worldwide has rendered vast areas of land and many water bodies degraded to the point that they cannot support any plant and animal growth. The new field of ecological restoration has as its goal the restoration, revitalization, and reuse of disturbed, disrupted and contaminated sites, based on ecological principles. The goal is not to duplicate exactly what was there before disturbance, but to restore the ecological processes that will enable the ecosystem to change and adapt as environmental conditions change.
