In this course, you will use both physical and biological science approaches to watershed science. A watershed is an area that drains into a waterbody. Watersheds encompass terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and deliver many services that humans rely on, from clean water and flood protection to carbon storage and provisioning of food and materials.
