LE is a science at the interface between natural and social sciences. In the PPG AMSA, the goal of LE is to promote landscape management, allowing for the exploration of ex-ante possible scenarios to mitigate, adapt to, and find effective solutions for addressing socio-environmental issues of the 21st century. Landscape approaches enable different stakeholders, including decision-makers and planners, to proactively explore solutions for socio-environmental problems in both urban and rural contexts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csr.ufmg.br\/ppgamsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ementa_ecologia-da-paisagem_sonia-ribeiro.pdf\">Syllabus in PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"f3d4a751dfb7c91c1\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-2479-1\" data-target=\"#f3d4a751dfb7c91c1\" href=\"#f3d4a751dfb7c91c1\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">ECOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"f3d4a751dfb7c91c1\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Level: Master&#8217;s and Doctorate<\/p>\n<p>Course Load: 60 hours \/ 4 Credits<\/p>\n<p>Instructors: Camila Palhares Teixeira, Fernando Goulart<\/p>\n<p>Syllabus: Ecology: General Aspects.

This course explores cultural ecosystem services and their relevance in conservation practices, land planning, and resource management. Through case studies, quantitative and qualitative methods, and spatially explicit mapping technologies, students will learn to identify, analyze, and integrate cultural ecosystem services into conservation and sustainable development strategies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csr.ufmg.br\/ppgamsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ementa_topicos-especiais-em-analise-e-modelagem-de-servicos-ecossitemicos-culturais_laura-bachi.pdf\">Syllabus in PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"acc1c1febafadd7f6\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-2479-1\" data-target=\"#acc1c1febafadd7f6\" href=\"#acc1c1febafadd7f6\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">SPECIAL TOPICS IN ANALYSIS AND MODELING - METHODOLOGY AND SCIENTIFIC WRITING<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"acc1c1febafadd7f6\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Level: Master&#8217;s and Doctoral<\/p>\n<p>Workload: 60 hours \/ 4 Credits<\/p>\n<p>Responsible: Diego Rodrigues Macedo<\/p>\n<p>Syllabus: This course covers the study of the process that characterizes scientific investigation, as well as how to prepare the writing of dissertations\/theses and scientific articles for publication in journals. The content of this course is essential to prepare graduate students to develop and elaborate their research projects, as well as to write their final work. It includes how to efficiently write abstracts, introductions, literature reviews, materials and methods, results, discussions, conclusions, and citations. It also addresses how to submit an article for publication and respond to reviewers, as well as ethical considerations in publishing. During its pedagogical development, the course will encourage students to draft their own scientific text using material produced during their master&#8217;s or doctoral program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csr.ufmg.br\/ppgamsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ementa_topicos-especiais-em-analise-e-modelagem_metodologia-e-redacao-cientifica_diego-macedo.pdf\">Syllabus in PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"7e9d337209ad66205\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-2479-1\" data-target=\"#7e9d337209ad66205\" href=\"#7e9d337209ad66205\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">SPECIAL TOPICS IN ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS I<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"7e9d337209ad66205\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Level: Master&#8217;s and Doctoral<\/p>\n<p>Workload: 15 hours \/ 1 Credit<\/p>\n<p>Syllabus: Topics of interest for the development and application of environmental systems modeling.
