WATER AND PEOPLE

ATMOCN/BSE/SOILSCI 132
과목 설명

Water is central to the functioning of planet Earth and is influential to shaping many historical and present-day cultures across the globe. As humans increase their impact on Earth's water cycle, our understanding of the multiple roles of water becomes critical to finding sustainable strategies for human and ecosystem health. Explore different perspectives around cultural significance of, engagement with, and access to water, with particular focus to case studies from the United States. Identify the human influence on water quality and quantity in a changing global climate, from local, regional, and global perspectives, and how different racial and ethnic communities in the United States are differentially impacted.

Examine the sources and properties of anthropogenic soil pollution including emerging contaminants such as PFAS, nanomaterials, and microplastics. Understand the contaminant mobility in the environment and in turn, how these contaminants affect human and ecosystem health. Apply epidemiological, toxicological, and risk assessment methods to assess soil contamination impacts on local populations. Through case studies from around the world explore issues of soil contamination and interventions to mitigate health impacts.
