4.00 Credits
An overview of the natural science and social science components of the human environment. Topics include: the ecosystem, energy, resource definitions and limitations, water supply, air pollution, sustainable design, environmental policy, environmental justice, solid and hazardous waste management, land use and conservation biology. Designed primarily for first-year students and sophomores. Emphasis is on the use of natural and social scientific knowledge in decision- making and problem-solving.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of analytical research methods used to study the environment. Solving environmental problems requires expertise in conducting research and in understanding how research is performed. Students will participate in field- and laboratory-based research of environmental issues within natural science and social science. Fundamental research skills, including hypothesis definition, experimental design, data analysis and presentation, will be explored. Laboratory, one period. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 110.
-
4.00 Credits
An overview of the domestic and international origins, drivers, and consequences of energy sources, uses, technologies, and conflicts. The range of current and future energy choices is stressed, as is the character of the current energy crisis as framed by processes of social adaptation, value transformation, technological change, and the struggle for influence in national and international arenas. Possible topics include "peak oil," climate change, biofuels for transportation, public communication strategies of multinational energy companies, building energy performance, and energy use and environmental/ health impacts in the Third World. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 110 is recommended but not required.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of forest ecosystems and threats to forests caused by human actions. The course examines fundamental ecological processes that control forest ecosystems and the importance of forests in regional and global environments. Impacts of global warming, forest harvesting, air pollution and improper management will be discussed. Management regimes that result in sustainable forest practices will also be explored. Regional forest issues, as well as national and international forest concerns, will be addressed. Laboratory exercises will examine topics in local forested environments. Laboratory, one period. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 110, Environmental Science 210 or a lab-based course in the natural science division.
-
4.00 Credits
(also listed as Geology 330) An examination of climate change on Earth at a variety of scales and the implications of global climate change (both past and future) from a scientific perspective. The course is divided into two seven-week units. The first unit focuses on evidence in the geologic record that provides a history of climate change on Earth over the last two billion years. The second unit focuses on the record of changing atmospheric gas concentrations (e.g. greenhouse gases) during the last 150 years and examines the methods that scientists use to predict and address future climate change. A day-long field trip may be involved. Prerequisites: Geology 110 or 108 or Environment Science 210.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of biologial diversity and the increasineffects of human society on populations and communwild organisms. Emphasis on loca and global pattediversity, causes and consequences of declines in ways to work with natural or managed systems to marestore diversity. The laboratory emphasizes learflora and fauna, investigating local conservation and using tools and techniques of woldlife and natmanagement to understand and resolve conversation Prerequisites include Env Sci 110 and one laboratocourse in Biology or Environmental Science, or perthe instructor."
