    4.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course focuses on ecological research techniques with the goal of providing students a hands-on experience in planning and conducting scientific research using modern and traditional methods in a natural, field-based setting. Students conduct studies on plant and animal systems and gain experience in developing hypotheses, designing field experiments and analyzing results. Students will develop, conduct and analyze the results of a small group project. This course meets at the Cincinnati Center for Field Studies (Miami Whitewater Forest).

  • EVST 3024: Aquatic Biology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course will examine the ecology of aquatic ecosystems. Focusing primarily on freshwater systems, the course will cover their physical, chemical and biological properties, the origins and major characteristics of lakes and streams, and the distribution, ecology and adaptations of organisms living in aquatic systems. Key themes from freshwater ecology will be considered, including nutrient cycles, energy flow, and population, community and trophic dynamics, as well as the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on aquatic environments (such as habitat alteration, pollution, harmful algal blooms and climate change), and responses to such disturbances (policy, management and restoration).

  • EVST 3031: Sustainable Development

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    Sustainable development, with its promise of equitable, environmentally sensitive economic growth, has been hailed by some as a promising alternative to conventional development strategies which are argued to emphasize economic growth at the expense of environmental stewardship or income parity. Others contend that sustainable development is at best an impossibility, and at worst an ideology that prevents the poor from improving their quality of life and allows citizens, businesses, and governments to brand themselves as environmentally friendly without fundamentally changing their practices. This course explores the myriad debates surrounding sustainable development and explores current strategies for implementing sustainable development at the state, national, and international levels, including green national income accounting, voluntary sustainability standards and certification systems for businesses, and global efforts to mitigate climate change while improving livelihoods in poor countries. Students will evaluate theoretical and empirical critiques of sustainable development as well as arguments and case studies suggesting that the concept can be implemented in beneficial ways.

    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This seminar-style course explores the interactions between our growing population and the planet's rapidly changing environment, investigating human-environment interactions in various regions of the world, with emphasis on evaluating the impact of climate change on the developing world and creating solutions for a sustainable future. The course will include virtual or in-person guest visits from climate scientists working in the Arctic and an Inupiat Eskimo from Barrow Alaska, visits to labs on campus where climate research is going on today, and work with researchers in analyzing data. Because this topic includes current events and politically charged issues, there will be considerable opportunity for students to discuss and respond to readings, and to introduce their own topics of interest.

  • EVST 3090: Interdisciplinary Field Experience

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course integrates concepts of biology, conservation, sustainability and sociopolitics. Students will work in groups to develop a research project and execute the project at a remote field site. One particular field location serves as a focus, but a comparative strategy is encouraged, where concepts, processes and policies from other locations around the world that face similar challenges are brought to bear on the focal system. During the term, groups present their project ideas at various stages in their development for peer evaluation and feedback. Articles from the primary literature will be read and discussed in class sessions with students as discussion leaders. Travel is optional and arrangements are generally made well before the beginning of the term using a variety of funding mechanisms.
