MASL 506 Sustainable Resource Management
In this course, students will explore the balance between meeting the needs (and desires) of current generations without depleting resources for future generations. Students will explore the limits of depletion for stock-limited resources and of availability for flow-limited resources. This content will be coupled with efforts to assign plausible net values to the use of various resources based on the levels of needs addressed. Additionally, students will develop value metrics to optimize the use of a selected resource system.
