Course Description

This course serves as an introduction to and covers broad aspects of environmental science and environmental studies. Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary field that draws from all the sciences in addition to other fields. This course will help students better understand the relationship between humans and the world in which we live, including environmental impact of population growth on natural resources; mineral and resource extraction; water resource uses; and renewable and non-renewable sources for power generation. The course will evaluate natural environmental processes, as well as human impacts to these processes.
