Prerequisites: One of the following: ANTH 1105, 1106, 1145, or 5175; ENVS 1105 or ENVS 6207; or Department Approval. Course provides history of thought concerning humanity's place in the natural world from its western intellectual roots in Greek philosophy and Biblical theology through its development and diversification into the competing analytical frameworks of today. Course also examines a broad variety of evidence from anthropology, archaeology and palaeoecology to evaluate changing interactions between the natural environment and human societies.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOL 1221. Examination of human interaction with the geologic environment. Geologic hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and volcanic eruptions will be considered, as well as resource and waste management, and human impacts on the physical environment. (Course fee required.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 3217, CHEM 1211, PHYS 1111 with a C or better. This course examines the implications of water flow on the biota, chemistry, and physics of freshwater river and stream ecosystems. Laboratory exercises apply practical research methods to understand causes of human created environmental problems such as habitat degradation, biodiversity declines, and eutrophication.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1121, PHYS 1111, MATH 1125 with a C or better. Investigates how ecology, chemistry and physical processes interact to structure lakes and wetlands. Laboratory exercises apply modern limnological methods to examine scientific and environmental issues affecting lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands in the Southeastern US.
-
3.00 Credits
Seminar and lecture course with a focus on the study of current environmental issues such as the generation, reduction and disposal of hazardous materials, management of air and water quality, the status and management of endangered species, as well as the research needs in these areas for the future. Case studies will be used where possible.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of federal, state, and local laws related to the protection of the environment and populations. Effects and implications of such laws and regulations and the relationships among agencies in the promulgation and enforcement of them. Requirements and obligations of scientists testifying as expert witnesses in environmental cases.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the structure and composition of the atmosphere, methods of analysis of pollutants in the atmosphere, and ozone depletion. Emphasis on transport and diffusion of atmospheric pollutants from the micro scale to the global scale, as well as an examination of global climate change.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of fluvial and wetland ecosystems and their dynamics, as well as common practices in the management and maintenance of these resources. Topics will include analysis of open-channel hydrology and hydraulics, flood control and analysis, regulated river management, wetlands hydrology, and management alternatives for wetland ecosystems. (Course fee required.)
-
4.00 Credits
Applications of ecological principles to societal challenges such as population management, establishment, exploitation and assessment of ecosystems. Special emphasis is placed upon experimental design and methods employed for the analysis of the abundance and distribution of lying organisms and the structure and function of communities. (Course fee required.)
