| Abstract | The three following case studies were developed as research projects of the ORES801 course entitled “Optimization: Models and Methods” taught by Dr. Kent Messer in the Fall of 2007 and 2008. The first case study by Allison Borchers evaluates the cost effectiveness of applying optimization techniques to protect the Red Cockaded Woodpecker at the Camp LeJeune Marine Base in North Carolina. The second case study by Anand Kalambur evaluates the use of optimization in the context of agricultural land protection in Cecil County, Maryland. Finally, the third case study by Stela Stefanova applies optimization to identify cost effective project funding for the United States Department of Agriculture’s Forest Legacy program. | en_US |
