ES 100Introduction to Environmental Sciences ()3
Interrelationships between human populations and the natural environment. Human population trends, agriculture, air and water pollution, biological diversity, forest and land use, energyand mineral resources, and toxic substances. Consideration of related economic factors, laws, politics, political behavior, and ethical questions. GEP Global Knowledge, GEP Interdisciplinary Perspectives Typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer

This course explores relationships between humans, energy, and the environment with interdisciplinary context. Themes include environmental impacts of energy production, distribution and use with discussion of new technologies. Half of the course content is from subject lectures and half from self-selected student projects. Student projects emphasize analytical approaches to solving environmental problems, and enhance skills in writing, seminars, and team work. GEP Global Knowledge, GEP Interdisciplinary Perspectives Typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer Graduate Catalog 1157
A capstone course for students in environmental sciences or related majors. The course teaches use of analytical approaches for solving environmental problems, and for communicating results. The course emphasizes development of student projects that lead to environmental decision-making, such as devising a resource management plan, developing a predictive model, prioritizing risk, identifying tipping points, designing new software or technologies, or predicting outcomes of environmental polices. Individual student projects fit within a team framework to simulate a work environment. Students enhance writing and seminar skills. Student may incur extra expenses with projects for this course. Typically offered in Fall and Spring ES 425/NR 425/ES 525/NR 525 Water Quality and Health (3 credit hours) The water we drink is intricately linked to our wellbeing. This course provides an introduction to contaminants in drinking water supplies and disparities in safe water access, globally and nationally. We will review how contaminants enter water systems, their effects on health and methods for their detection and removal. We will cover case studies of local, domestic and international water safety crises (e.g., lead, PFAS) and waterborne disease epidemics (e.g., cholera). Typically offered in Spring only
