3.00 Credits
(Same as AFR/POL/SOC 345) This course examines the impact of institutional racism on environmental and health policies, industrial practices, government regulations and rule making, enforcement, and overall quality of life in people-of-color communities. The course will examine the nexus between environmental protection and civil rights, and the impact of the environmental justice national environmental groups. (Every two years)
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as CHM 351) Prerequisite: CHM 241. A study of the physicochemical properties of substances that determine their fate and transport in the environment. Inorganic and organic substances will be examined as they are deposited, transported, transformed, and stored in the soil/sediment, water, and atmosphere. Techniques for the sampling and analysis of nutrients, toxic metals, and organic priority pollutants will be examined. A lecture, laboratory and field course. (Occasional)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EES 150 and BIO 212. A study of material and energetic substances produced by humans, and the adverse effects of those substances on the environment. Dynamics of these substances, including their effects on living organisms, are examined. A lecture and laboratory course. (Occasional)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as SOC 360) Prerequisite: EES 150 or SOC 101 This course uses the sociological perspective to examine environmental problems on the local, national, and global level. It explores how culture and social institutions affect the environment as well as the distribution of environmental problems according to socio-economic conditions. This course also examines the environmental movement and its potential to address environmental problems. (Every two years)
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 370) Prerequisite: BIO 212. A study of relationships between organisms and their physical and biological environment. Ecological relationships will be considered from the perspectives of individuals, populations and communities. Work in the field is required. Formal laboratory writing is required. A lecture, laboratory and field course. (Every year)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 381) Prerequisites: BIO 220/211 or EES 150. A study of the relationship between the urban environment and the associated biological, physical, social and political systems. Emphasis will be placed on ecological principles and processes as they relate to the urban ecosystem including the impacts of urbanization on biodiversity, air and water quality, production and management of waste, energy use and land use patterns. The historical development of cities and current urbanization trends will be considered with a focus on urban sprawl. Lecture/discussion course. (Every two years)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as WGS 383) This interdisciplinary course gives students sufficient information for them to make informed decisions about their behaviors and their lives. Students will confront and grapple with the biological, social, historical, environmental, psychological, and cultural issues which the AIDS pandemic represents. The diverse populations affected by AIDS - gays, children, women, Africans - will be discussed. AIDS and other historic plagues raise numerous moral and ethical issues regarding public health, resource allocation, individual versus group rights, and the sweeping effects of trying to keep people healthy. Books, articles, speakers, films, and classroom discussion serve as the texts for the course. (Occasional)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A study of some significant topic in environmental studies not covered in the regular course offerings. May be taken more than once for a maximum of 6 credits. (Occasional)
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of some significant topic in environmental science not covered in the regular course offerings. May be taken more than once for a maximum of eight credits. (Every year)
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as BIO 440) Prerequisite: BIO 212. Aquatic ecosystems encompass a wide spectrum of habitats, ranging from the world's major oceans and rivers down to the smallest tidal pools and mountain streams. Course content will reflect this diversity as well as the fundamental principles unifying these systems, emphasizing the adaptations of representative communities to the physicochemical characteristics of the varied habitats. The laboratory component will combine field trips to local middle Georgia aquatic environments with wet labs, where collected plant and animal samples will be identified. Experimental design and formal laboratory writing are required. A lecture, laboratory, and field course. (Every two years)
