4.00 Credits
This course is specifically designed for students who are participating in the Environmental Residential Learning Community at USF. The course serves as an introduction to environmental science and environmental studies with a focus on sustainability. Topics include the use of basic scientific concepts and tools for environmental problems; human population growth; cycles of carbon, water, and other matter; weather and climate; and the use of natural resources, in particular water and energy. The course will evaluate natural environmental processes, as well as human impacts to these processes. Students will consider sustainability issues in general, campus sustainability, and individuals' contributions toward environmental sustainability. The laboratory component of the course will include field trips, discussions, and in-lab activities.
