TEACHING
Courses
Since
1991, Dr. Pijanowski has taught Earth Systems Science (MSU), Introductory
Biology – Ecology, Evolution and Organisms (MSU), Biological Information
Systems (MSU), Landscape Ecology and GIS (Purdue), Biogeography (Purdue),
Sustainable Land Use Systems I & II (Purdue) and Spatial Ecology (Purdue).
The descriptions of Purdue courses follow:
Landscape Ecology and GIS. Dr. Pijanowski has taught the course four
times (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010). The
course attracts students from all across campus, including AGRY, BIOL, EAS,
ENTM. and SOC. Lectures summarize the
main concepts in landscape ecology, emphasizing spatial-temporal scales,
landscape patterns and biophysical processes.
Several specific application areas of landscape ecology also are covered,
including land use and hydrology, habitat structure and organisms, land use and
climate interactions, and coupled socio-ecological systems. Application areas draw upon the rich
diversity of research projects being conducted in Dr. Pijanowski’s research
lab. The 3-hr GIS lab introduces
students to GIS software, spatial data, standard analysis techniques,
visualization and simulation models.
Biogeography and GIS. Dr. Pijanowski
has taught this course twice (2005, 2007). This course combines a seminar
format (read and discuss papers) with a 3-hr laboratory where students work
with standard global and regional databases used in typical biogeography
studies. GIS lab includes the use of GIS
to model amphibian distributions across the US, the use of biome forecast
models to assess impacts of climate change on global ecosystem distribution,
the use of geostatistics to model the distribution of forest pests in the Upper
Midwest and the use of conservation planning tools to determine best management
strategies for improving habitat corridor distribution for black bears.
Sustainable Land Use Systems I. Taught
once in Fall of 2008 with Dr. Suresh Rao (Civil Engineering) and Dr. Linda Lee
(ESE Director), the course examined whether Midwest land use systems can be
sustainable. Thirty-three students were
enrolled. Students were placed into subgroups where they discussed specific
topics related to FNR’s Partnering for Land-Use Sustainability (PLUS) signature
research-extension area.
Sustainable Land Use Systems II. Taught
for the first time in Spring of 2009 to 20 students, the course examined
sustainability from various perspectives: social, biophysical and
philosophical, using a standard guest-lecture followed by discussion
format. This course forms the basis of
the new Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Interdisciplinary Graduate
Program (IGP) organized through the Discovery Park Center for the
Environment. The course was led by Dr.
Lee with participation from Dr. Rao and Dr. Pijanowski.
Spatial Ecology and GIS. Students (mostly juniors in FNR) are
introduced to concepts and principles of landscape ecology and biogeography in
the lectures. The 3-hr GIS lab builds on
GIS skills initially developed in FNR 210.
Students learn how to analyze spatial data using vector and raster tools
in ArcGIS. Laboratory exercises include:
hydrologic modeling, land use change analysis, interpolation of animal survey
data using semivariograms, use of global IUCN data for assessing distribution
of bats worldwide, and the use of conservation tools (an ArcGIS extension) for
habitat management.
Teaching of Science and Engineering at the
Undergraduate Level.
A graduate level course that reviews pedagogical techniques of teaching
undergraduate lecture, field and laboratory courses. Topics include: Blooms taxonomy,
metacognition and learning, interdisciplinarity, role playing, 5-minute paper
exercises, internationalizing the curriculum, the art and philosophy of the
syllabus, mentoring, teaching and the promotion process, and assessment
(formative and summative).

Q&A Story.
Urban Sprawl and River Health (Summer 2010). Several articles
appeared (week of August 3, 2010) in newspapers (e.g., USA Today) reporting on
recent paper published in Environmental Management that showed that controlling
urban sprawl and encouraging more forest growth in watersheds would increase
the health of rivers in the Midwest.
Interviewed also by Texas Public Radio.
Story on the Purdue News web site had third most hits off the main page
for August.
Recording the Sounds of Nature (Fall 2008). An article by Wired Magazine (September 11, 2008)
entitled “A Listening Party for Nature” summarized work by Dr. Pijanowski and
several colleagues around the world who examine how recording sounds across
landscapes can be used to study human impacts to the environment.
Parking Lot Footprint Study (Fall 2007). A press release
issued by Agricultural Communications in September of 2007 was picked up by
regional and national papers. An article
that appeared in the Christian Science
Monitor generated numerous interviews (National Public Radio, WISC-TV,
Indianapolis Star, USA Today) and appearances on radio shows (Wisconsin Public
Radio). Versions of the press release
also appeared in Auto World, BBC News, Yahoo News, London Times, Sydney Times,
Detroit Free Press, among others. Planning offices in Fort Wayne, Boston, Dallas,
Los Angeles, Portland (Oregon), Chicago, Flint and Atlanta called/emailed to
discuss parking lot solutions.
C.
Museums
Land use legacy animation and the American Museum of
Natural History (Spring 2008). In January of 2008, staff at the
American Museum of Natural History contacted Dr. Pijanowski about acquiring GIS
layers from his recent Ecology and Society publication. AMNH took the GIS layers and developed a 2
minute computer animation explaining the land use legacy concept that was
presented in the paper. The animation
was broadcast to 21 museums around the world, including some in Australia. The animation is also being used by Purdue
University to showcase computer based research occurring on campus.
Outreach Projects and Activities
A. Local Decision
Maker
Dr. Pijanowski
is the FNR representative to the 3-person Governing Board for Purdue’s award-winning
Local Decision Maker (LDM) land use planning tool. LDM contains an interface to GIS data layers that
allows users to examine economic, political, infrastructure and natural
resource data layers commonly used for comprehensive planning by local
governments. The online tool also has
planning tutorials, database descriptions and spatial manipulation capabilities
enabling local governments to efficiently exploit the latest information for
their assessments. LSM is being used
throughout the state, with >75,000 hits on the web site during March 2010
alone. In recognition of its impact, LDM
received the Indiana Geographic Information Center’s 2010 Excellence in GIS Award.
Dr. Pijanowski’s
role is to provide input on (1) the use of natural resource layers that would
be helpful for local land use planning and (2) incorporation of new analytical
capabilities (e.g., integration of simple what-if models) that would extend
current capabilities. He also provides
technical assistance related to GIS and relational database management, and
serves as a liaison for bridging of activities and expertise that exist with
LDM and the FNR PLUS signature area.
B. Presentations to
Lay Audiences
Dr. Pijanowski
welcomes the opportunity to showcase the work being done at Purdue and in his
lab. Selected presentations given to lay audiences since arriving at Purdue
follow:
C. Publications for
Lay Audiences
Dr.
Pijanowski helped lead a report to Senator Lugar’s office entitled “Climate Change Impacts on Indiana Natural
Resources”. The report, submitted in
February of 2008 and coordinated out the Purdue Climate Change Research Center,
helped frame the Senator’s stance on impacts of biofuels and carbon trading on ecosystems.
Dr. Pijanowski was one of the lead authors. Several members of the department
made significant contributions, including: Drs. Dunning, Williams and Weeks.
Dr.
Pijanowski also has been involved in developing research bulletins for his

Service
to Stakeholders
Dr.
Pijanowski interacts with a variety of stakeholders in the US and East Africa
where research project results are used in the development of policy. Dr. Pijanowski has helped co-lead these
workshops where researchers and natural resource managers interact on issues
related to land use planning, climate change impacts and natural resource
management. Recent workshops include the
following:
Climate change adaptation workshops. Held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Nairobi,
Kenya, and Kampala, Uganda, July 2007.
Full day workshops were held with 15-20 natural resource experts in each
country where a team of researchers (~3) made presentations summarizing
research on land use and climate change forecasts for each country. Discussions centered on whether different social
groups would adapt well to anticipated climate change. Presentations were made by Drs. Olson and
Pijanowski and a member from a collaborating university in each country.
Muskegon River Watershed “Mega-Model”
Outcomes. Held in
Muskegon, Michigan, in April of 2008, Dr. Pijanowski participated in a two day
workshop involving ~30 stakeholders from local and state government, members
from the Muskegon River Watershed Assembly (a not-for-profit environmental NGO
coordinating research and planning across this regional watershed). Twelve
extension bulletins were produced (8 co-authored by Dr. Pijanowski and his
students) that summarized various aspects of the project in non-technical
terms.

Release of Land Transformation
Model. The
neural-network and GIS based model developed by Pijanowski has been released to
the broad research community as part of a GNU license agreement established at
Michigan State University and Purdue.
The model is provided free of charge along via the web with sample data
from Dr. Pijanowski’s Muskegon River Watershed project. Dr. Amelie Davis developed an online video tutorial that walks
users through the various steps of data processing, model execution and output
analysis. The model has been applied in numerous settings, the most noteworthy
being Iran (Tehran), Turkey, Brazil, Australia, Canada (Toronto), Kenya, and
China.
