3.00 Credits
This course examines the interrelationships of people with their environments in advanced industrial societies, specifically the science behind regulation and the U.S. regulatory response on air and water pollution, toxic and solid waste management, and workplace hazards. It considers the conflicts and compatibility of economic growth, social justice, and environmental quality under capitalism. Local and extended field trips emphasize the students' analysis and interpretation of social and physical parameters at waste repositories and environmental management facilities. Three hours classroom and four hours laboratory a week. NOTE: This is a Writing Intensive Course. Prerequisite: 131 and 132, or a 130-level with lab Environmental Studies course, or permission of instructor.

An interdisciplinary study of the aquatic environment, with a focus on the groundwater and surface waters of the Chesapeake Bay drainage basin. This course provides a scientific introduction to the dynamics of rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuarine systems as well as an appreciation of the complexity of the political and social issues involved in the sustainable use of these aquatic resources. Students conduct an original, cooperative, field-based research project on a local aquatic system that will involve extensive use of analytical laboratory and field equipment. Extended field trips to sample freshwater and estuarine systems and to observe existing resource management practices are conducted. Three hours classroom and four hours laboratory a week. Prerequisite: 131 or science major. Generally offered in the fall in a two-year alternating sequence with 340.

3.00 Credits
An exploration of the structure and function of forests with a focus on trees. Levels of organization from organs to the biosphere are considered. A set of topics, such as leaf-atmosphere interactions, whole-tree physiology, stand dynamics, energy flows, and biogeochemical cycles, are examined in depth. The effects of human interventions in forests are considered as these provide insights into the processes operating within forests. The course includes quantitative analysis and a substantial field component. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory each week. Prerequisite: Any combination of two courses from among the 100-level BIOL courses and ENST 131, 132. This course is cross-listed as BIOL 320. Generally offered in the fall in a two-year alternating sequence with 335.

6.00 Credits
Computer simulation modeling is a way to develop scientific understanding. A key element of computational science, computer simulation modeling is the representation of systems with mathematics; computers do the mathematical calculation. This course considers biological, chemical, and physical systems, with interdisciplinary applications in environmental science and other fields. For the course project, students model systems related to their individual interests. No experience with computer programming or calculus is required. Six hours of integrated lecture and laboratory each week. Prerequisites: Any three courses in natural science and/or mathematics. This course is cross-listed as BIOL 348. This course fulfills the lab-science distribution requirement.

This course provides instruction in the basic aesthetic and technical aspects of digital film production, including writing, producing, directing, shooting, lighting, recording and mixing sound, and editing. Students will learn to harness digital tools while focusing on their roles as storytellers. Each participant will write and direct a video, rotating through various crew positions as they carry out exercises designed to deepen their knowledge of the different elements of moviemaking. Ultimately, students will collaborate in teams on short movies, which will be screened at the final class. Prerequisite: FLST 101 OR FLST 301/ENGL 218. Offered every two years.
