Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.
This course examines the depth and breadth of environmental science, focusing on principles from the physical and biological sciences that -- integrated with insights from the social sciences -- can help us understand environmental change and improve resource management. Case studies, readings, discussions, and field and laboratory exercises focus on developing an interdisciplinary foundation for understanding how biophysical systems influence and are influenced by social processes.
When Offered Fall.
