There are many courses taught at UF that are related in some way to landscape ecology. You can see a listing of GIS-related courses on the ICGIS (Interdisciplinary Concentration in GIS) website. The LEAF pages of UF departments and UF faculty with related interests provide further information about UF courses.

WEC offers two courses that are specifically in landscape ecology, WIS 4203C and WIS 6468C. A synopsis is offered below; clicking on the title will take you to the course home page.

WIS 4203C: Introduction to Landscape Ecology

This upper-level undergraduate course offers an introduction to some of the central concepts of landscape ecology. The recommended text is the recent book by Turner, Gardner and O’Neill. Although the focus of the course is conceptual, students will have opportunities to gain some basic Geographic Information Systems (GIS) skills and to try applying them to real-world problems during the practical sessions.

WIS 6468C: Pattern and Process in Landscape Ecology

This graduate course deals with methods and recent developments in landscape ecology. It is motivated by the question of how broad-scale patterns can be detected, quantified, and related to ecological processes. There is a strong emphasis on quantitative methods, including the use of GIS, spatial and multivariate statistics, and modelling. Most of the readings for this course come from the primary literature.
