Gray, Dennis
Email: gray@imcs.rutgers.edu
Registration limited. Note special schedule. Course meets everyday 7/7-7/11 9:00am-4:30pm, off-campus at the Pinelands Field Station. In this class, we will examine ecosystem input/output and storage of CO2. Exercises will include measures of biomass input through primary and secondary production, output through decomposition and respiration, and storage in above and below ground pools. The class will ential lecture and hands on laboratory and field work. In the field we will learn about micrometerological techniques (eddy covariance) to measure CO2 exchange between the atmosphere and the forest canopy, and how these measures can be extended from regional to global scales. Aboveground biomass will be measured using forest census and allometric equations and remote sensing techniques (LIDAR). We will also measure aboveground and belowground biomass production, soil carbon pools and respiration. In the laboratory we will analyze a number of different soil carbon pools such as microbial biomass, soil organic matter and dissolved organic carbon. Students will be required to keep a journal of activities. Final grade will be dependent on production of a final report.

Crosslisted with 53:620:678. The course explores dramatic changes taking place at the interface of society, business and the natural environment. Previously, business and environmental interest were believed to be adversarial. Now, some contemporary thinkers are suggesting that environmental capabilities are a source of competitive advantage for corporations. A recent Harvard Business Review article refers to the sum of these changes as "The Next Industrial Revolution". In this course we will study examples on the cutting edge of these developments. We will look at corporations that are addressing the "trible bottom line" by strategizing about the ecological and social impact of their decisions, as well as the economic impact. We will learn about designers who are rethinking everything from tennis shoes to corporate headquarters’ buildings with the environment in mind. We will consider new alliances among business, environmental activists and governmental regulations – all stakeholders in a sustainable society.

Speakers come from federal, state, county/municipal, and authority agencies and departments as well as members of the press corps and private sector contractors.

Municipal and county governments remain the general-purpose public service delivery organizations of the US political system. It is the level closest to the citizenry and faces high levels of demand for accountability by the citizenry. The responsibilities of local government include but are not limited to: land use, public safety, streets and roads, parks and recreation, building codes, water supply and waste-water disposal, solid waste, elections, and education. We will look at the local government manager’s position in this sometimes muddled system including the processes of decision making and planning, the emphasis of service delivery and productivity, the impact of intergovernmental relationships between local, county, state, and federal governments, and the relationship between non-profit and private sectors.
