  • BIOL 146: Earth's Dynamic Surface:From Mount Everest to Ocean Floor

    4.00 Credits
    Drew University

    The Earth's surface is diverse, with mountains, rivers, coasts, and glaciers existing in various locations on the planet. It is also dynamic, as mountains rise and fall, rivers meander, and coastlines evolve. In this course, we will explore how and why the Earth looks the way that it does, while considering important factors such as the impacts of climate, sea level changes, human activities, and plate tectonics. We will use the New Jersey landscape as a case study, exploring how it has changed from a landscape like the East African Rift, to its present, muted topography. Students will learn basic techniques for field geologists, methods of data analysis and presentation, and skills for effective reading of peer-reviewed literature. . These skills will be directly relevant to students interested in environmental science, ecology, archaeology, Prerequisite: Introductory lab science course or ESS30/Introduction to Environmental Science. To be determinded. Same as: ESS 146.

  • BIOL 160: Emerging Infectious Disease

    4.00 Credits
    Drew University

    Scientific advances in the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulted in the prevention and control of many infectious diseases, particularly in industrialized nations. Despite these improvements in health, outbreaks of infectious diseases continue to occur and new infections continue to emerge, some with devastating effects. This course will address trends in infectious diseases, analyze factors contributing to disease emergence, and discuss the development and implementation of prevention and control measures. Relevant topics in microbial pathogenesis and transmission, as well as important aspects of international health will also be addressed. Prerequisite: BIOL 4 and BIOL 26.
