1.00 Credits
This course will consider environmental policy and law, the role of policy and law in protecting the environment, policymaking, policy strategies, and the relationship of environmental policy, law and science. Counts as one unit of social science credit. Prerequisite: 100 or 200 level Environmental Science class or consent of instructor (EC 150, 151/152 or Environmental Science 141 recommended). 1 unit - Kannan.
-
1.00 Credits
A survey of American history from the perspective of the environment, beginning with the biological and cultural invasion of the New World in 1492 and ending with current environmental problems and their historical roots. Topics include Native American vs. Euro-American views of nature, the impact of changing economic systems on the environment, and the impact of the landscape on various American cultures. Counts as one unit of social science credit. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
1.00 Credits
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. Counts as one unit of social science credit. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
The interconnections between feminism and ecology. Ecofeminism explores the links between systems of domination such as sexism, racism, economic exploitation and the ecological crisis. We will assess criticism of ecofeminism and evaluate the potential of this philosophy for political practice. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Diverse Cultures and Critiques requirement.) (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
1.00 Credits
Study of values underlying human relations to the natural environment. Conflicts between values. Preservation, conservation, and exploitation of natural resources. Problems in developing and applying a consistent land ethic. Some social, political, economic, and ecological aspects of current environmental crises. Counts as one unit of humanities credit. (Also listed as Philosophy 246.) 1 unit - Bayer.
-
3.00 Credits
Independent research based on laboratory or field investigation in a cross-disciplinary field. (Research focused on problems that may be addressed by a departmental discipline should be taken in those departments.) Prerequisite: At least one 200 level course in EV, consent of both the instructor and the Environmental Science director and registration at least four weeks prior to the block in which the research is to be initiated. May be taken for a block, January half block, or as an extended-format course. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course builds upon the skills developed in environmental chemistry or physical chemistry, making use of kinetic and thermodynamic models to examine how chemical pollutants are transported in the environment. Either significant computer simulations or laboratory investigations based on recent journal articles from areas such as the kinetics of metal adsorption on model soils, equilibrium concentrations of pesticide residues in biota based on octanol-water partitioning, and transport modeling of air particulates from an urban environment are included. (Available on a tutorial basis with instructor's consent.) Prerequisite: Chemistry 342 or 366; or 210 and consent of instructor. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the geochemcial, physical hydrological, and biological properties of water systems at the level of a watershed. This course applies principles of surface hydrology, aquatic, ecology, redox and acid-base chemistry, field sampling, and experimental design. Includes a significant laboratory component involving GIS and the analysis of samples collected in the field. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 212 and Environmental Science 228 (or equilavent) and Environmental Science 155, Geology 140, or Geology 130. Biology 208 or Environmental Science 208 recommended. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Drossman, Kummel.
-
3.00 Credits
Selected environmental science topics that require a more advanced science background than those offered through EV 120. Offered when interest and opportunity arise. Counts as one unit of natural science credit, a few of which may meet the lab or field requirement. Usually at least one sophomore level science course is expected.) (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on strategies used for the management of humankind's interaction with, and impact upon, the environment. Case studies will allow students to analyze and apply the precautionary principle, environmental assessment, environmental management systems, and planning as strategies of environmental management. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 221. 1 unit - Kannan.
