Subject:

Description:

Environmental biology incorporates natural and social sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, geology, economics, ethics, law and sociology) to understand and solve environmental problems. These problems occur in two major categories: resource depletion (overhunting, deforestation, mining) and environmental degradation (pollution). Lectures, exams, field trips and discussions in this course will explore the ecological basis of and solutions to these environmental problems. Service-learning projects, in which students pursue some aspect of environmental biology to the benefit of a community partner, will allow students to move beyond the text and lectures into an area of their choice. Two hours lecture; two hours laboratory. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. This course is designated as math/natural sciences division general education course.
