OSPAUSTL 25: Freshwater Systems
Integrated water resource management and how this applies across the globe, comparing strategies and results in the developing and more developing world. Ethics, values and politics of water and the management of extremes such as drought and flood. Ecology and hydrology in an urban context, along with important current issues such as stormwater and water sensitive urban design. Construction of a well, a water tank, and a pit latrine. Community service working with a local catchment management group on riparian and wetland restoration work. Field work complements lectures.

OSPCPTWN 56: HIV Policy Issues and Models
Application of mathematical, statistical, economic, and systems models to problems in HIV policy. Areas covered include: biology, epidemiology and economics of HIV disease; role of policy modeling in informing policy decisions; HIV screening; HIV treatment; HIV prevention among various at-risk groups; potential effect of HIV vaccines and drugs that act as vaccines; effects of co-infections; and analysis of potential portfolios of investment in HIV prevention and treatment programs. Analyses includes modeling techniques such as simple cost analysis; cost-effectiveness analysis; statistical and probabilistic analysis; simulation; Markov models; epidemic modeling; and simulation, analysis, and control of dynamic systems. Local field trips to better understand the local healthcare system and politics, and the spread and impact of HIV and relative diseases.
