that helps – but there are other Departments at Cornell that seem to be in the same area – what make DNR different?
Another good question – as you may have noticed, there are several programs at Cornell that are involved (either directly, or indirectly) with “environmental” studies (perhaps not surprising, since Cornell is a very large school). The main programs that have direct involvement with one or more aspects of ‘environmental’ studies are BEE (Biological & Environmental Engineering), SES (Science of Earth Systems), SNES (Science of Natural & Environmental Systems), and DNR (Department of Natural Resources). The main difference between DNR and the other 3 programs is simple: in DNR, we focus on ‘living’ biological resources – for example, fish, forests, streams, birds, wetlands. We do so from the perspective of both basic fundamental ecological analysis (population studies, ecosystem analysis, and so on), as well as the analysis of use of those living resources from the perspective of ‘policy’ ( government, sociology, economics). The other ‘environmental’ programs focus more on physical proces
