4.00 Credits
ENVL 2100, ENVL 2200, ENVL 2400, ENVL 4600. Open to seniors only. Students will analyze, individually and in teams, a series of current environmental issues at the global, national and local events. Issues will be examined from the viewpoints of ecology, geography, economics and ethics. Examples may include biodiversity, toxic and hazardous waste, land use decisions, economic development and environmental justice. Students will discuss key readings in environmental philosophy and ethics and prepare briefs on several topics. Faculty: T. CHIRENJE, W.

4.00 Credits
ENVL 2100, ENVL 2200 and CHEM 2110. This class looks at the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and trace metals in wetland systems. Attention will be paid to the role of biological agents in reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions and how chemical cycling occurs under reduced conditions. Topics to be discussed include: the electrochemistry of wetland systems, and how the change in redox potential affects the cycling of C, N, P, S, and trace elements in wetlands. The role of biological agents in changing the redox potential in the water column and in redox reactions will be stressed. Faculty: T.

CHEM 2110 or (ENVL 2100, ENVL 2200 and CHEM 2110). This course looks at the basic chemical, geophysical and biological aspects involved in site assessment and discusses the various remediation technologies that can be used to clean-up contaminated sites. Topics to be discussed include: the principles and applications of the different physical, chemical, microbiological and other remediation technologies, their advantages and limitations and how technological advancements are incorporated in clean-up regulations.

2.00 Credits
ENVL 2100 and ENVL 2200 or BIOL 1200 or GEOL 2101. This seminar focuses on habitats that are between open water habitats and dry land, that is, wetlands. We will investigate the characteristics of wetlands emphasizing the regulatory issues associated with wetland protection with the ultimate goal of learning how to delineate wetlands. You will have to give at least one seminar and write a paper based on each topic seminar. There will be a final examination, a portion of which will be graded fieldwork. Several obligatory Saturday field trips will be scheduled. Faculty: M. GELLER 2.000 Credit hours 2.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Seminar Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department
