12 courses with the subject ENV, 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.
This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to Environmental Studies, required for Environmental Studies majors and minors. It combines scientific and humanistic perspectives and experiential learning in order to explore the relationship between environment and society.
This course is an interdisciplinary exploration of the issue of sustainability. Scientific and humanistic perspectives will be combined in order to think about crucial questions of efficiency and justice in the use of resources.
In this course, students will gain a foundation in geographic information systems, including spatial data analysis and communication. Students who complete this course will have a “spatial analysis toolbox” that they can draw upon in experiences outside of the classroom, and outside of Misericordia, and apply to several fields. Students will learn cartography basics, coordinate systems, spatial analysis tools, data management and database queries, and how to work with vector and raster data. Students will gain a strong foundation in using popular GIS tools such as QGIS, ArcGIS, or others. This course counts as a Group B elective for the Environmental Studies major.
This course will allow students to apply interdisciplinary perspectives developed in ENV 100 and ENV 200 in the development of faculty-guided research into an environmental question or problem.
This course examines the relationship between human activities and the changes occurring in our global climate system. Students will evaluate the drivers and impacts of global climate change, as well as strategies for future adaptation and mitigation, from economic, political and social perspectives.
This course will explore the aesthetics of both natural and human environments. Students will investigate aesthetic theories, consider the role of aesthetic values in environmentalism, and explore how aesthetic values might inform human practice in relation to the environment.
This course focuses on the importance of water to sustaining all life. Global, regional and local issues of water management, scarcity and distribution will be analyzed from scientific, humanistic, economic and social perspectives.
This class will consider the debates about the Anthropocene—the potential geological epoch marked by human impact on the Earth—in order to think about the human relationship to the earth historically and philosophically. Rather than determining the geological definition of Anthropocene, we will use geologically significant features of human activity to think about a future relationship between human beings and the Earth.
This is an independent research project and the culminating experience of the Environmental Studies major.
Independent work under the guidance of an instructor, who will determine student learning outcomes.
