3.00 Credits
A science course that provides an equal balance between theory and hands-on applications. This course 1) introduces students from many disciplines the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) as an analytical tool for storage, display, and analysis of geo-referenced information and 2) provides students with an introduction to the fundamental components of GIS in terms of understanding types, entry, and analysis of spatial data, and map display. Application areas that will be discussed include political science, municipal planning, natural resources management, nursing, business, marketing, and communications geographics. Prerequisites: no prior geographic or GIS knowledge is assumed. Enrollment for second semester freshman or higher. Fee: $50.00 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This is an upper level undergraduate course that will explore the interaction between the American land use planning system and the environmental regulations, which protect our land, water, air, and wildlife resources. The course will provide students with a working knowledge of the land use planning processes and theories, then build upon that base to explore the complex social and political dynamics which, influence land use regulations and development patterns. Contemporary environmental planning issues and current events will be explored through focused academic and professional readings, class discussions, and when possible, Participation in local planning meetings. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies the environmental law process, including the role of Congress, administrative agencies, and the courts in creating, implementing, and interpreting environmental laws, and regulations. Studies in several major environmental laws and programs relating to air and water pollution, solid waste, hazardous waste, toxic waste, and the Coastal Zone. This course shall include, but not be limited to, case studies and projects. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: ES205 suggested, Required for Environmental Policy Majors, Elective for Environmental Science and Legal Studies Majors, (Offered annually or every other year depending on enrollment)
-
4.00 Credits
State-of-the-art and experimental methods in the appropriate handling, treatment and disposal of materials classified as hazardous. Topics will include hazardous materials generation, transportation, physical and chemical treatment processes, storage, and disposable techniques. Preliminary Assessment (P.A.) Formats will be studied and sample P.A. sites will be selected from the current Emergency Remedial Response Information System (E.R.R.I.S.) list. Specific guest lectures will be used during the course. Selected field activities will include instruction in the use of protective clothing and respiratory protection and the use of specific environmental monitoring equipment. Prerequisites: PI155, CH160, CH210, and MA111. (Offered in the Fall of odd-numbered years.) 4 credits

Theory and methods in hazard assessment and management. Site characterization; environmental pathways; contaminant release, transfer, and transport; exposed populations; and risk characterization. A systems approach to environmental problem solving will be emphasized. Structured as an applications- and case study-based course. Prerequisites: Junior/Senior standing, MA201, ES420 3 credits
Prerequisite:
(MA201 AND ES420)
-
3.00 Credits
GIS and remote sensing course that provides theory and hands-on applications. A raster-based GIS will be used as a vehicle for spatial and image analysis applications in the environmental and the biological sciences. Discusses data structures, database query, distance and context operators, map algebra, DEM creation, principles of remote sensing and spectral response patterns, satellite image enhancement, and supervised and unsupervised image classification theory and applications. Prerequisites: Junior/Senior standing; BI155, ES205, MA205; or consent of the instructor.
Prerequisite:
( MA205)
