This course will cover the role of plate tectonics in formation of the oceans and characteristics of continental margins as well as coastal geologic processes. In addition, the course will explore standard methods and instrumentation in marine and coastal geology. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisite: MSCI 1101, or permission of instructor.
- Teacher: Sarah Sojka
This course will provide a broad overview of marine systems focusing on the physical processes controlling marine and coastal systems, such as waves and tides, the chemistry of seawater, and light in marine environments, and how these processes impact productivity. The course will also highlight major threats to marine ecosystems such as the impact of fisheries and ocean acidification. Credit hours: 4. (QR)
- Teacher: Sarah Sojka
Students critically evaluate scholarly articles from peer-reviewed environmental or marine science journals, gain expertise in researching and writing a literature survey, in their chosen area of focus, and hone oral presentation skills. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisites: senior standing.
- Teacher: Karin Warren
The laboratory provides a hands-on approach to data analysis, field work, and scientific inquiry, including remote sensing tools, use of weather forecasting products and instrumentation, global ocean, atmospheric, and climatological data sets and visualization tools. Credit hours: 1. Corequisite: EVST 3325. (NS)
- Teacher: Karin Warren
In this course we examine the structure and dynamics of the earth’s atmosphere, ocean, and how they interact to drive changes in weather and climate. Topics include general circulation of the ocean and the atmosphere, weather systems and forecasting, paleoclimatology, natural and anthropogenic climate change, mathematical modeling of climate systems, and atmosphere-ocean interactions including the El Nino-Southern Oscillation. Credit hours: 3. Prerequisite: EVST 1101 or 2201 or MSCI 1101 or permission of instructor. (NS)
- Teacher: Karin Warren
An interdisciplinary, quantitative approach to understanding environmental issues. Students will learn practical applications of methods used to assess environmental problems including estimation techniques, box modelling, and visual displays of data. Topics include transport and fate of persistent pollutants, impact of human activities on climate, climate feedbacks, air pollution, acid deposition, fisheries management, ocean acidification, and disruptions of biogeochemical cycles. Credit horus: 4. Prerequisite: EVST 1101 or EVST 1104 or MSCI 1101 or permission of the instructor.
- Teacher: Karin Warren
A natural science-based introduction to current environmental issues and the science central to understanding them, including scientific method, systems theory, principles of critical thinking, sustainability basics, population dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, water and air pollution, energy resources, and global climate change. The course combines informational lectures, readings, and media with in-class activities, discussion, case study analysis, and field work opportunities designed to highlight the diversity of environment-related problems and the importance of critical thinking and scientific analysis. Credit hours: 4. (CI)
