3.00 Credits
An investigation of the effect of humans on the Earth’s environment and on the other species that inhabit our planet. The course will look at the impact that an increasing human population has on the resource utilization, pollution production, habitat degradation, and the extinction of species. It will include a brief look at the policies and laws that specifically relate to environmental problems.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the theoretical foundation and skills necessary for the solution of problems encountered in the area of quantitative chemical analysis, including classical and modern methods. Emphasis is given to the evaluation and presentation of data, sampling, equilibrium dynamics of analytically important reactions, experimental design, volumetric techniques, absorption and emission spectroscopy, electrochemical methods, and analytical separations. Examples and laboratory exercises will include environmental air, soil and water systems. Prerequisites: CHE 117, and MTH 141. H. Boylan. ( Also listed as CHE 230.)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the structure of ecological populations and the processes that affect them. Specific topics include population growth and regulation, intraspecific competition, life history patterns, population genetics, and symbiotic interactions. A laboratory with field work is included. Laboratory exercises stress experimental design and data analysis. Prerequisite: completion of BIO 111 with a C- or better. A. Throckmorton. ( Also listed as BIO 240.)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the structure of ecological communities and ecosystems and the processes that affect them. Specific topics include interspecific competition, predation, food webs, species diversity, succession, biogeography, species conservation, and the flow of energy and materials through ecosystems. A laboratory with field work is included. Laboratory exercises stress experimental design and data analysis. Offered Fall Semester. Prerequisite: completion of BIO 111 with a C- or better. J. Balczon. ( Also listed as BIO 241.)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to risk assessment, and includes the characterization of hazard, exposure assessment, the quantification of risk, and the application of risk analysis to environmental decision making. Specific topics will include human and environmental risk assessment, sources of potential hazards, transport and transfer processes, acute and chronic exposure to hazardous substances, and the effects of stressors on individuals, populations, and communities of organisms. Risk assessment will be considered within a regulatory framework, and the limitations of the current risk analysis paradigm will be addressed. Prerequisites: BIO 111 and CHE 117.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the theory and use of Geographic Information Systems, including the fundamental concepts of GIS, capabilities of GIS, and applications for dealing with spatial data. Key issues for discussion will include data input, data models, database design and database queries, sources of information for spatial databases, spatial analysis, computational algorithms, and information presentation. Other issues such as the nature of geographic phenomena to be represented in a GIS, comparisons of different GIS representational schemes, and appropriate use of geographic information will also be covered. These topics will be discussed within an environmental context using ArcView, a PC-based GIS software package. A. Throckmorton. ( Also listed as BIO 251.)
