-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: EES 105 or consent of the instructor. This course focuses on the influence that geologic forces have on the existence and development of physical and biological communities. Topics include geologic hazards, preservation of natural geologic habitats, and pertinent political/economic/social considerations. The course is designed particularly for students pursuing majors or minors in the earth sciences, engineering, or other disciplines requiring specific knowledge of the above described interrelationships. A lecture and laboratory course. (Every two years)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHM 112, and PHY 141/121L or 161/121L. The basic principles and concepts needed to give an understanding of the general makeup of the world's oceans and how they are investigated by oceanographers. Physical, chemical, biological and environmental aspects of oceanography will be presented. A lecture and laboratory course. (Occasional)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHM 112 and EES 150. A study of the quantitative techniques used for the determination of water quality with an overview of pertinent federal and state legislation pertaining to water quality. Includes traditional wet chemistry techniques used in the characterization of ambient, potable and municipal wastewater supplies with emphasis on development of quantitative laboratory skills. A lecture, laboratory and field course. (Occasional)
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 300) Prerequisite: BIO 212. A systematic study of the invertebrate taxa with emphasis on phylogeny, comparative morphology and physiology, behavior, and ecology. A library research paper is required. A lecture and laboratory course. (Every two years)
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as SOC 304) Prerequisite: SOC 101; MAT 126 is recommended. In this course students are introduced to fundamental ideas and methods of social science research, including the link between theory and research, the evaluation of research literature, the basics of research design, and the principle elements of surveys, experiments, and field research. Students will complete laboratory exercises in these areas and will learn basic descriptive statistics through the use of a standard statistical analysis program (e.g. SPSS). (Every year)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHM 111/112 or 115, EES 150. A study of the movement of water through the hydrological cycle and the geological factors that control the occurrence, movement, and chemical composition of surface and groundwater systems. This course is designed to permit a quantitative understanding of various components of the hydrological cycle, essential physical concepts governing groundwater flow, and natural and anthropogenic controls on water chemistry during passage through the hydrosphere. A laboratory and lecture course. (Every two years)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 315) The biological study of a given region of the world through travel, filed work, reading, and lecture. Specific topics (e.g., ecology, animal behavior, zoology, botany, and/or environmental issues) will reflect the expertise of the instructor and the characteristics of the region. As appropriate, field experience will be supplemented by informal lectures, seminars, demonstrations, discussions, experimentation, and directed study. A library research paper as well as other forms of writing will be required. A lecture/field course. (Every year)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as SOC 325) Prerequisite: SOC 101. The focus of "urban ecology" is the synergistic relationship between people and the urbanenvironment (social, physical and institutional), to include the essential bond between human and natural environments. It includes the study of the historical development of cities, current urbanization trends and impacts, the critical role of the local community in the development of human relations and institutions, community leadership and organization, and the relationship of the urban and natural environment. (Every year)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: EES 150 or CSC 125 or permission of the instructor. The study of computer-based technology for creating geographic data, managing large quantities of digital data, integrating information from different sources, visualizing scenarios, and analyzing geographic data. The theoretical component of the course emphasizes the fundamentals of cartography and structure and editing of spatial data. Successful students will be able to apply this knowledge to demonstrate how GIS can be used to propose hypothetical solutions to various environmental problems. A lecture and laboratory course. (Every year)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: either one course in PHI or EES 150. An examination of ethical issues and theories as they apply to environmental concerns, together with a survey of emerging environmental philosophies. (Occasional)
