Contemporary Environmental Issues

X70 (4 semester units in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management)

The Earth is besieged with great environmental pressures as the human population increasingly depletes the planet's "natural capital." In this course, you gain an understanding of the physical, biological, and ecological processes of the global ecosystem, as well as the human impact from cultural, social, and economic influences that disrupt these processes. You also acquire an understanding of the roles played by government, business, scientists, advocacy groups, and individual citizens in shaping solutions to environmental problems and managing resources.
