Wetlands are integral elements in many Canadian environments, with fragile but dynamic ecosystems, high levels of biodiversity, and complex hydrology and geomorphology. This course will explore wetland ecosystems, processes, classification (using ground and geospatial methods for the non-expert), and policy frameworks, and will also address critical issues of reclamation, value, and distribution.
