Study of ecological principles with emphasis on the relationship between humans and their environment. Topics include population growth, global climate change, biodiversity, species interactions, and environmental resource management.

We will focus on both the causes of environmental problems and potential solutions with a strong emphasis on sustainable interactions with the biosphere.
