Corequisite: EVS 300. Selected exercises designed to reinforce concepts covered in EVS 300, including experiments, exercises, and field trips to introduce students to hands-on observation of significant environmental issues. The course has four required half-day field trips and one required full-day field trip.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: EVS 206 or permission of instructor. Corequisite: EVS 303. An introduction to biological features and resources of ecosystems, and their conservation and management.
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: EVS 302. Selected exercises designed to reinforce concepts covered in EVS 302.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEO 100/101 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment is restricted to students seeking middle school licensure. No credit towards geology or environmental science major or minor. Concepts of earth system science relevant to students seeking middle school licensure will be discussed and related to timely issues. Lectures will coordinate with laboratory exercises and inquiry-based activities.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: a declared environmental science major and permission of the BGES Environmental Science Adviser. Corequisite: Students must be concurrently enrolled in a 300- or 400-level environmental science course. This course is designed to develop the writing and oral presentation skills of students through assigned projects and in-class activities. Students will write conceptual (review or theoretical) papers according to a standard format. A substantial written report is one of the requirements. The 300/400 level Environmental Science course instructor, in consultation with the student, will determine the topic of the written report.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 300 or BIO 302 or BIO 304 or permission of instructor. Our lives have been increasingly touched by questions pertaining to environmental degradation at local, regional, and global scales. Students will examine ways in which ecological principles can be applied to solving some of these crucial environmental problems. Topics include global climate change, sustainability, agroforestry, biodiversity and conservation, invasive species, ecotoxicology, biomonitoring and bioremediation, and restoration ecology.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 304. This course will examine the causes and scientific responses to the current worldwide crisis of declining biodiversity. Scientific principles underlying conservation biology are emphasized, but students also will explore the role that culture, societal values, politics, and economics play in conservation issues.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 304. Examination of central principles of conservation biology through field studies and computerized analyses of data for actual endangered and threatened species. This laboratory course provides students with experience in quantification and analysis of biodiversity, environmental monitoring, mathematical modeling, risk assessment, and other methods used in conservation biology, ecology, and natural resource management.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 200, BIO 202, and CHM 261 or equivalent. Corequisite: EVS 471. A study of aquatic ecosystems, including lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands. Commonalities and differences between the physical-chemical and biological components of these ecosystems will be discussed. The impacts of human activities on these ecosystems are covered, as well as water quality assessment techniques, pollution control, and regulation. This course includes three required Saturday field trips.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 200, BIO 202, and CHM 261. Corequisite: EVS 470. Selected exercises to introduce students to hands-on sampling and analytical techniques used in water quality assessment.
