  • EV 211: Human Impacts on Biogeochemical Cycles

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    An intoduction to the chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes and reactions that govern the composition of the natural environment and the cycles of matter and energy that transport the Earth's chemical components in time and space. Course includes a significant emphasis on mathematical modeling of radiative transfer, fossil fuel consumption, the global carbon cycle, and implications of these processes on energy policy. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 128 and Mathematics 126. 1 unit - Drossman, Janke.

  • EV 212: Energy:Environmental Thermodynamics and Energetic

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    Study of the generation and use of energy in an industrial society, environmental problems created by our energy use, and the physical and chemical principles underlying these issues. Scientific principles include: energy and the laws of thermodynamics, and the chemical equilibrium and kinetics needed to understand chemical systems as means of energy storage. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 211 or the following: Chemistry 107, Environmental Science 128, Mathematics 126 (or Mathematics 125).

  • EV 221: Environmental Inquiry

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    This class is designed to serve as the first integrative "capstone" course for prospective Environmental Science majors. By focusing on diverse, multidisciplinary forms of inquiry - from scientific inquiry to governmental policy studies to business sector position papers and contributions from the humanities - this course will provide a structured analysis for exploring selected environmental issues and how they are viewed through diverse types of inquiry. The intended outcome is a comprehensive framework students will take with them into future courses that facilitates a broad approach to "inquiring" about any environmental issue or problem and detecting narrowness and bias in the arguments made by others concerning environmental challenges, issues, and problems. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 128 and Environmental Science 228 (or Mathematics 117 or Biology 220). Also open to declared Environmental Science Chemistry and Environmental Science Physics majors who have com- pleted Sustainable Development or Microeconomics (EV 141 or Economics 151) and Environmental Policy (EV 271 or Political Science 321). 1 unit - Perramond.

    Colorado College

    Dynamic system modeling applied to environmental examples. Some data analysis and estimation techniques to determine functional relationships and parameters for building models. Anaylsis of equilibrium and other key system behavior in the context of population models, the carbon cycle, and other ecological phenomena. (Does not meet the laboratory/field requirement for the natural sciences.) Prerequisite: Mathematics 125, 125 or 127 (EV 221 recommended).

  • EV 228: Analysis of Environmental Data

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    This course will focus on the fundamentals of exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing, and experimental design in the ecological, environmental, and earth sciences. Topics will include theory and practice of project design, data distribution and description, the central limit theorem, characterization of uncertainty, correlation, univariate hypothesis testing, and multivariate analyses (ANOVA, linear regression). Students will complete a final project using environmental data collected in the field and analyzed using statistical computer software. or MA 125 or MA 127 or high school equivalent.

  • EV 255: Nature & Society

    1.00 - 9.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    The course examines the interaction between Europeans and the natural world from the Renaissance to the present. It looks at how nature shaped the ways Europeans lived and worked and how, in turn, they thought about and behaved toward nature. In particular, it explores the impact of the Scientific Revolution, industrialization, and mass culture on the changing interplay between nature, society, and culture. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
