-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits). Exploration of the physical geography of Earth by examination of lithospheric, atmospheric, hydrological, and biological processes. Laboratory includes field methods, topographic map reading, and in-depth discussion of these principles. NU and EV only.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring (4 credits). Exploration of the biodiversity of California plant life. Lectures focus on the varied physical environments and ecology of California plant communities. Laboratories delve into the intimacies of plant taxonomy and identification. Field trip laboratories will afford first-hand experience with coastal, interior valley, montane and desert plant communities and their environments. Prerequisite: EVST 100 or permission. Offered in alternate years. NU and EV only.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall (4 credits). Examination of global and local biodiversity and the causes and implications of biodiversity decline. Emphasis on threatened and endangered species and human activities related to the decline of species. This course is field trip and project intensive. Prerequisites: EVST 100 or permission. NU and EV only.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring (4 credits). Investigation of the process of modeling. Special emphasis placed on how to build, test, and refine models; how to analyze assumptions and results; and what model limitations are. Includes deterministic and stochastic models, rate equations and popu- lation dynamics, and statistical analysis. Final project is tied to outside interests. Prerequisite: MATH 121 or permission. Cross-listed with MATH 231.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring (4 credits). Comprehensive overview of environmental impact assessment. Federal and State legislative foundations governing the content and process of environmental review are examined.
