ESCI 150 - Great Challenges in Environmental Science

4 credits
Today’s environmental issues are some of the greatest challenges of our time.  In this introductory course, we will investigate the impact of human population growth and the energy sources we use on the Earth’s terrestrial and aquatic resources, environmental health and toxicology, global climate change, and biodiversity loss.  We will study the science behind each issue, and its historical foundation, and its political, social, and cultural dimensions.  Within this context, we will explore possible solutions.  We end the course considering how to create sustainable cities that support human societies while protecting the Earth’s resources. Same as: ENV 150 . CLA-Breadth / Natural Science
