EVST 4014 - Advanced Topics in Environmental Studies: Urbanization

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Building on the core of knowledge acquired in foundational 1000-, 2000- and 3000- level environmental-studies courses, this interdisciplinary course, team-taught by faculty from several participating programs, will focus on multifaceted issues related to urbanization, including the effects of urbanization on atmosphere and climate, biodiversity, and water resources. The synergistic interactions of all of these variables along urban-to-wildland gradients will also be considered, as will the comparative effects of urbanization in different urban centers worldwide. A particular point of emphasis will be the issue of sustainability, and the coalescence of multidisciplinary concerns and approaches with respect to possible remediation of the impacts of urbanization. The course will include integrative exercises and field experiences that will provide students not only with an understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of contemporary environmental issues, but with a practical sense of how these issues can be analyzed.
