SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY

ENVIRST 417

Analyze the concept of sustainability through current trends, including energy, air and water resources, agriculture, environmental measurement and analysis, modeling, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems, the built environment, transportation, ecology, conservation and global climate change.

SYSTEMS THINKING

ENVIRST 365

Focuses on the concepts and practices used to define systems while providing opportunities to build competencies with systems thinking to describe, assess, understand, and manage complexity from local to global scales. Considers a range of topics, including systems science, complexity, behavior of adaptive systems, networks, emergence, and patterns of organization. Develops skills to analyze how the design and implementation of integrated systems can contribute to solutions for pressing societal challenges. Examines social, physical, and natural systems, the rise of complexity, and achieving resilience in social-ecological systems. Examines the components of systems and analyzes how different ecological and social contexts influence system behavior. Explores and analyzes how decisions ramify to influence processes and outcomes at different levels of complexity.

PHYSICAL SYSTEMS OF THE ENVIRONMENT

ENVIRST/GEOG 127

An introduction to natural environmental systems, emphasizing the interconnections between the systems of the solid earth (minerals, rocks, soils), the hydrosphere (water in all its forms), the biosphere, and the atmosphere. Emphasizes connections between basic concepts and specific environmental issues through hands-on case studies, lab projects, and field trips to collect samples and observations for lab projects.

SPECIAL TOPICS: ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVES IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES
