Scientific Dimensions Of Natural Disasters Prerequisite: LAC student with tins course or GER student Natural disasters occur where and when destructive atmospheric, hydrologic, geologic and/or human-induced processes negatively impact people. Most such disasters are associated with large infrequent events such as hurricanes, ice storms, earthquakes, floods (etc.). The risk of damage caused by these phenomena varies greatly depending upon the specific destructive process and the infrastructure and populations impacted. As such, natural disasters are complex interactions between natural processes and human response systems. This course focuses on analyzing risk associated with hazards and exploring the scientific basis for several types of natural disasters. Topics examined focus on specific hazardous conditions and disasters associated with violent weather, internal and external geologic processes, hydrologic phenomena, and selected human actvities. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture School of Arts and Sciences College Environmental Earth Science Department Course Attributes: GER IIIB-Natural Sciences, LAC T2NS-Natural Science EES 2XX - Env.

Basics Of Geographic Information Systems Prerequisite: LAC student with T1M or GER student GIS is a computer system designed to analyze spatial problems. This is a multidisciplinary introductory course in GIS. We will discuss how GIS helps researchers analyze problems in areas such as environmental management, marketing, history, and archeology. The emphasis will be on problem solving as opposed to a particular software package. No prior GIS experience is required. Not appropriate for EES majors. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Mass Media Instruction, Online School of Arts and Sciences College Environmental Earth Science Department Course Attributes: LAC T2IT-Applied Info Tech

Environmental Science And Society Prerequisite: LAC student with tins course or GER student Note : Not open to students who have completed EES 304. This course is an introduction to how scientists approach some of the serious environmental problems facing our society. We will seek to understand how scientists acquire environmental data and how this data is used to mitigate environmental problems such as water pollution, climate change, acid rain, and food resources. We will also discuss the limits of science in trying to solve these problems. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Online School of Arts and Sciences College Environmental Earth Science Department Course Attributes: GER IA-Inquiry and Analysis, LAC T2NS-Natural Science
