ENV 310 Applied Environmental Science
This course is designed to give students an opportunity to gain first-hand experience with developing effective approaches to solving complex environmental problems. As such, this course will establish connections between major environmental problems and their controlling factors, and will develop an appreciation of the environmental decision-making process and the role of scientists in that process. Using multiple case-scenarios, students will understand the methodologies used for the assessment of human impacts on the natural environment by learning fundamental quantitative concepts and then applying them to issues such as environmental impact assessment, environmental health and toxicology, resource contamination, natural resource management, land reclamation, climate change, and sustainable energy.
