0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of the contrasts between modern large-scale monoculture agriculture and alternative small-scale ecologically-based methods of agriculture. The course will apply ecological concepts to agricultural systems to design a more sustainable food system. In addition to cross-cultural comparison of agricultural practices from around the world, a practical applied field component will focus on local bioregional approaches to food production. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department Course Attributes: SS-Sch Core-Sustainability
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A mathematical and computer-oriented approach to understanding planet Earth. This course integrates scientific knowledge from various disciplines and investigates physical and ecological models using appropriate mathematical and computer methodologies. Applications include: population ecology, air and water pollution, climate modeling, and energy systems. Lab Fee. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lab, Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course gives students an appreciation of the origins, transport, reactions, effects, fate and analyses of chemical species in air, water and soil. Emphasis is given to naturally-occurring chemical processes and the impact of humans on the environment. Students are prepared for advanced studies in environmental chemistry by learning both theoretical and practical chemistry concepts applicable to such fields as exposure assessment, industrial hygiene and environmental engineering. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lab, Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to research approaches and statistical methods that are commonly used in the environmental and life sciences. A wide variety of research designs (completely randomized, randomized block, nested, continuous, tabular), descriptive statistics (central tendency, variability, distribution), and parametric and nonparametric hypothesis tests (chi-square, contingency table, paired sample, unpaired sample, multiple sample, correlation, regression) are examined. Real examples from the literature are discussed, and students collect, analyze and interpret their own data for each research design and statistical analysis. Proficiency in reading and preparing scientific graphs is also emphasized. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department

This course designation describes a transfer course from another institution where an equivalency to a Ramapo College course has not been determined. Upon convener evaluation, this course ID may be changed to an equivalent of a Ramapo College course or may fulfill a requirement. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course designation is used to describe a transfer course from another institution which has been evaluated by the convener. A course with this course number has no equivalent Ramapo course. It may fulfill a requirement or may count as a free elective. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Limited opportunities to enroll for course work on an Independent Study basis are available. A student interested in this option should obtain an Independent Study Registration Form from the Registrar, have it completed by the instructor and school dean involved, and return it to the Registrar's Office. Consult the current Schedule of Classes for policies concerning Independent Study. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Independent Study Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course examines the scientific evidence for global climate change in the modern era, and the natural and human causes of climate change on various timescales. The probably effects of climate change through the 21st century and beyond, including 'global warming' as well as localized cooling, the effects on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and natural resources such as soil and water, are examined. The human dimension of climate change is also addressed, particularly the effects on settlements, infrastructure and health. Finally, the scientific and technological options available both now and in the near future that may help to decrease the rate of climate change, as well as the policy and economic considerations that will be required for humans to adapt to the changing global environment are explored. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Environmental Science Department
