SUMMARY:Grassland Vegetation Inventory Blended Course (W25 Offering)
DESCRIPTION:The Grassland Vegetation Inventory is a land cover and land use classification system for the grasslands. GVI provides an extensive array of natural upland\, riparian and wetland classes. Coupled with anthropogenic (modified) land use classes\, GVI is a robust system that captures the variety of biophysical land uses in the grasslands.

SUMMARY:ABWRET-A Blended Course
DESCRIPTION:ABWRET-A\, or the Alberta Wetland Rapid Evaluation Tool-Actual is a standardized method for assessing the important natural functions performed by all types of Alberta wetlands using both field and spatial data. SALMTEC has designed this course to provide participants with a strong understanding of the ABWRET-A. This course targets an intermediate audience with some experience working in natural sciences. The course is primarily instructed by Dr. Paul Adamus\, the creator of the wetland evaluation tool\, who lends his voice\, experience and knowledge to this intensive online course.

SUMMARY:Biophysical Foundations Blended Course
DESCRIPTION:This course presented by SALMTEC provides students with a solid foundation for the understanding of the biophysical environment. Starting from the ground up\, this course guides students to examine soils and landscape features\, creates plant lists\, interpret imagery and field maps\, classify ecosystems\, assess wetland function\, and evaluate wildlife habitat. This course combines online and self-paced learning with interactive classes and field training. Topics include: Alberta Soil Information Viewer\, Alberta Conservation Information Management System\, Grassland Vegetation Inventory\, Alberta Wetland Policy Basics\, and field skills.

SUMMARY:Biophysical Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:The Biophysical Bootcamp Field Training Course will prepare environmental field staff\, of all levels\, with crucial field skills that they will need in the upcoming field season. Training includes i) digging and characterizing soil pits\, such as colouring\, texturing\, measuring\, attributing\, ii) identifying plants and using identification tools\, ii) classifying and applying an ecological land classification in the field (Alberta’s Grassland Vegetation Inventory)\, and iv) collecting wetland data inputs for the Alberta Wetland Rapid Evaluation Tool- Actual (ABWRET-A)\, focusing on the wildlife habitat function.
