  • GEOL 138: Introduction to Environmental Sciences

    4.00 Credits
    College of Marin

    (4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Biology 138 or Geology 138. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This science-based course takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the environmental crisis that confronts us all. Our studies combine ideas and information from natural sciences (such as biology, chemistry and geology) and social sciences (such as economics, politics, and ethics) to present a general idea of how nature works and how things are interconnected. It is a study of connections in nature. Discussions will focus on understanding ecosystem services, how humans interfere with earth's life support systems and how to deal with the environmental problems we face. Emphasis is placed on understanding various world views and how they affect our values. Our field studies will include visits to restoration projects, local ecosystem field studies and local environmental conferences. (CSU/UC) CSU Area B-1 and B-3, IGETC Areas 5A & 5B
