Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Blended, Lecture, Online
Biogeography is the study of the spatial and temporal distribution of biota. As practiced by geographers, biogeography is closely related to biology, ecology and environmental science with an emphasis on systems and spatial analysis. This course uses a foundation of evolutionary theory and science that forms the basis for thinking critically about contemporary human uses of plants, animals and other biota. Further, the course will explore themes related to human adaptation and impacts in response to the evolution of the biosphere.

Recommended Preparation: A previous course in Geography.
