Landscape Ecology Module for the MSc Wildlife Biology Course
April 2005
The Eco-Informatics Centre is currently offering a course in landscape
ecology to be taught as part of the new MSc programme in Wildlife
Biology that was started by Wildlife Conservation Society - India
Programme and partners (http://www.wcsindia.org/wnew.htm).
This module is taught in two parts; introductory and advanced, each
extending over a month. The introduction to Landscape Ecology also
covers some basic Remote Sensing and GIS concepts as well as mapping
and analytic tools that are relevant to landscape ecology and natural
resource management. The advanced module in landscape ecology focuses
on modeling and geostatistical tools that can be applied to landscape
ecological research and requires the development and implementation
of individual research projects.
