15 courses with the subject ES, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
2 class hours, 2 laboratory hours, 3 credits. An introduction to the science of the environment. Includes lecture and labs designed to introduce students to concepts and analysis of environmental issues. [Fall (MES Majors and Environmental Science Minors Only) and Spring] SUNY-GER: Natural Sciences.
2 lecture hours, 2 lab hours. 3 credits. An introduction to the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and ArcGIS PRO. It includes both theoretical and practical elements, providing a general understanding of the subject of spatial theory and hands-on experience. The course begins with the basic elements of a GIS and progresses quickly into the use of ArcGIS PRO software for spatial analysis. Students will complete a final project in which they apply GIS to an environmental problem. majors, and Environmental Science minors. [Spring]
2 class hours, 2 laboratory hours, 3 credits. Principles of remote sensing: electromagnetic and sound energy, and remote sensing systems. Photogrammetry. Radiometry. Orbital dynamics. Electro-optical sensors. Satellite systems. Blackbody radiation. Radar and sonar. Meteorological, oceanographic and biological applications. [Spring]
3 class hours, 3 credits. A survey of microbes and their role in nutrient cycles, disease, and oil spill remediation. Methodologies for collecting and identifying marine microorganisms.
3 class hours, 3 credits. This course will cover: (i) global sustainable development goals and sustainability concepts; (ii) critical issues in conservation and sustainability; (iii) sustainability tools and metrics; and (iv) social, ethical and policy issues surrounding conservation and sustainable development. Special focus will include case studies of conservation and development in practice. Topics include biodiversity conservation, forest management, sustainable cities, and food systems. [Spring]
2024-25 Undergraduate Course 36
3 class hours, 3 credits. The value and role of environmental impact statements. Materials, structural designs, site locations and habitat impact. [Spring]
3 class hours, 3 credits This course covers the scientific background needed to understand planetary climate change as a consequence of interconnected solar, geologic, oceanographic, atmospheric, biochemical, and anthropogenic processes. Topics include: ice ages and their causes, the greenhouse effect, modeling and prediction of climate, energy and fossil fuels, the human impact on climate, climate policy, and the consequences of global warming. The course also explores a range of proposed solutions and their potential capacities and limitations.
2 laboratory hours, 1 credit. Gathering and analysis of oceanographic and atmospheric data. Students, accompanied by several MES faculty, will spend 3 days and 2 nights (one weekend) aboard one of the college’s vessels collecting samples and gathering data. Time will be arranged beforehand for preparatory work and afterward for the analysis of samples and data, and the presentation of write-ups. Placed in Courses in Reserve 3/27/13.
3 class hours, 3 laboratory hours, 4 credits. A capstone course emphasizing the hands-on lab and field investigative techniques that are used to study the physical, biological, geological, and chemical parameters of the marine environment. [Fall]
each. Supervised field experience which allows the students to apply and extend their scientific academic abilities in a professional working environment. The hands-on experience may be in environmental science, marine biology, meteorology, or oceanography. Projects can be conducted under the supervision of a researcher not associated with Maritime College; however, a Science faculty member must serve as an internal sponsor and overseer of the project. Two internships may span two academic semesters or may be taken concurrently as a single internship in the summer. The intern will be required to submit a proposal prior to commencement of each internship and a written report along with an evaluation letter from the internship supervisor upon completion. [Summer]
