-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, four hours. Preparation: one year of calculus, one course each in physics, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. Designed for science, engineering, and public health students. Role of regional or long-range transport, and atmospheric lifetimes and fates of airborne chemicals in phenomena such as photochemical smog, acid deposition, stratospheric ozone depletion, accumulation of greenhouse gases, and regional and global distribution of volatile toxic compounds. Concurrently scheduled with course C225. P/NP or letter grading.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, four hours. Preparation: strong quantitative background and good understanding of statistical methods. Introduction to core methods of environmental economics, policy analysis, basic econometrics, and survey design. Application of case-study approach with considerable memo and paper writing and revision. Emphasis on critical thinking about normative and positive aspects of environmental policies. Normative issues include evaluation of benefits and costs of environmental policies. Exploration of why some environmental policies are readily adopted by society, while other policies go unheeded or lead to perverse and counterproductive outcomes. Concurrently scheduled with course C235. P/NP or letter grading.
