Description:

Human activities are resulting in dramatic global environmental change, in the forms of biodiversity loss, altered biogeochemical cycles, introduced invasive species, chemical toxification of the environment, climate change, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, and habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation. In this course, we will examine how these forms of environmental change disturb biological systems by critically reading key research papers, and discussing their implications for future research and policy action.
