  • ESC 111: Topics in Environmental Science

    3.00 Credits
    Muhlenberg College

    Environmental science is an interdisciplinary subject area that draws on biology, chemistry, geology, and ecology to study the earth's natural systems. Students learn how science is conducted and study the earth'snatural environments, interactions of organisms with each other as well as their physical surroundings, and the sources and effects of environmental stress. Three hours of lecture/discussion each week. Meets general academic requirement S.

  • ESC 113: Environmental Science I

    3.00 Credits
    Muhlenberg College

    This is an introductory environmental science course that investigates the functioning of earth's natural systems. Topics include the cycling and flow of water, energy, and nutrients biodiversity the basic principles of ecology and the interrelationships between organisms and their environments. The causes and effects of, as well as possible solutions to, several environmental problems are also covered. For example, human population growth, agriculture, and energy utilization are discussed in detail. Laboratory exercises and field trips teach students to use basic techniques to collect and analyze ecological and environmental data and reinforce topics discussed in the lecture. Three hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory each week. Meets general academic requirement S.

  • ESC 114: Environmental Science II

    3.00 Credits
    Muhlenberg College

    This is a continuation of ESC 113. Students study a number of human activities that can alter natural ecosystems and adversely affect human health. Topics include waste management, resource exploitation, and the behavior of pollutants in soil, air, and water. The science of controversial political issues, such as global climate change, ozone depletion, and acid rain, is explored and debated. In addition, the basic principles of human and environmental toxicology, risk assessment, and environmental impact analysis are covered. Laboratory exercises and field trips reinforce topics discussed in the lecture. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: ESC 113 Environmental Science I Meets general academic requirement S.

  • ESC 201: Environmental Geology

    3.00 Credits
    Muhlenberg College

    Organisms are inextricably bound to their physical environments. An understanding of the interactions between the earth's geology and biology is therefore fundamental to a study of environmental science. This course examines earth's physical environments as they relate to environmental science. Topics will include the basic principles of geology, natural hazards such as volcanoes, earthquakes, mass wasting, and flooding, and the global hydrologic cycle. Global water resources will be examined with an emphasis placed on groundwater supply, movement, and pollution. Three hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered alternate years (spring). Prerequisite: any 100level science course or permission of the instructor Meets general academic requirement W.

  • ESC 310: Environmental Chemistry

    3.00 Credits
    Muhlenberg College

    The behavior of chemical pollutants in earth's natural systems is critical to a study of environmental science. This course will examine the chemistry of soil, air, and water the interactions and cycles of elements among them and the pollutants that can adversely affect these important resources. Topics will include an overview of the physical chemistry of soil's reactions and fates of pollutants in soil, reactions and movement of pollutants in water, wastewater treatment, and chemical reactions in the atmosphere, including the mechanisms of smog production, ozone depletion, and global warming. The chemistry of power generation involving fossil fuels, radioactive isotopes, solar energy, fuel cells, and other resources will also be considered. Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. Offered alternate years (fall). Prerequisite: CHM 103 General Chemistry I and CHM 104 General Chemistry II or permission of the instructor
