-
3.00 Credits
Addresses current environmental problems that need an understanding of geology. Topics include energy resources, climate modification, hydrology, waste disposal, and mining resources. Uses specific examples to illustrate restrictions imposed by nature and man on solutions to these problems. Prereq., a two-course sequence in any natural science. Same as GEOL 3520. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Describes the basic components of the climate system: the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and lithosphere. Investigates the basic physical processes that determine climate and link the components of the climate system, including the hydrological cycle and its role in climate, climate stability, and global change. Covers forecasting climate, its applications, and human dimensions. Prereqs., ATOC 1050 and 1060, or ATOC 3300/GEOG 3301, or GEOG 1001 and 1-semester calculus. Same as GEOG 3601 and ATOC 3600. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Relates classroom theory to practice. Provides academically supervised opportunities for environmental studies majors to work in public and private organizations on projects related to students' career goals. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on the structural forces affecting environmental degradation and environmental behavior by examining the relationships between (a) inequality and democratic decision making and (b) undemocratic decision making; U.S. and corporate food and energy policy; and global environmental degradation. The course also focuses on the role that global inequality plays in fostering environmental degradation. Restricted to juniors/seniors. Same as SOCY 4027.
-
3.00 Credits
Includes field-oriented courses offered at irregular intervals during academic year or during summer sessions.

-
3.00 Credits
Covers fundamentals of biogeochemical cycling, emphasizing water, carbon, and nutrient dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems; chemical interactions of atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere, and natural and human-managed environments. Prereqs., GEOL 3320 or EBIO 3270, and CHEM 1011 or higher. Same as GEOL and EBIO 4160
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces this interdisciplinary science, studying the interactions between atmospheric processes and living organisms (plants, animals, and humans). Discusses how organisms adapt to a changing environment. Uses a practical, problem-solving approach to explore these interactions. Prereq., GEOG 1001. Same as GEOG 4201.
-
2.00 - 6.00 Credits
Field and laboratory methods for assessing the abiotic and biotic environment. Emphasizes field techniques in climatology, surveying soils, hydrology, geomorphology, plant and animal ecology, and environmental law. Evaluation by written module reports and maps. This course may use animals and/or animal tissues. Prereqs., EBIO 2040 and instructor consent. Same as EBIO 4630.
