Description
Contemporary environmental concerns on global, national and local levels are examined to increase awareness and scientific literacy and promote stewardship in the understanding of their impact and application to human existence. In order to understand these environmental concerns it is important to study the nature of our environment, biodiversity, biogeochemical cycles, populations, and our renewable and non-renewable resources. The laboratory is an integral part of the course and will reinforce lecture material and must be taken concurrent with lecture. The laboratory will include mandatory day field trip(s).
