BIOL 108 Environmental Science
“Environmental science” is a term we can easily tune out as something that doesn’t affect our lives—but just the opposite is true. If you are part of a family, drive a car, live in a city, or use modern sources of energy, you impact and are impacted by more environmental issues and ecosystems than you likely realize.
In this course, you’ll explore the effects of globalization, population growth, pollution, and economics on our planet. Through a review of the scientific method and common measurements and processes used in environmental science, you’ll learn how to read and understand scientific articles and how to choose effective sustainability practices. Equipped with this knowledge, you’ll be able to converse and write intelligently about pressing environmental challenges facing our society and begin to understand and formulate solutions to these problems.
