Study of ecohydrologic processes characteristic of arid and semiarid regions. Prerequisites: Any introductory hydrology course or instructor permission.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject area of environmental science.

Field and laboratory experimentation into the nature of earth materials and processes, especially as applied to use and human problems. Corequisite: EVSC 2800.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject area of environmental science.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject area of environmental science.

Specialized topics in ecology, atmosphere, hydrology, environmental geology, or environmental systems not normally covered in formal classes under the direction of the faculty. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

Investigates natural phenomena by means of stable and unstable isotopes and changes in their abundance, including isotope fractionation. Includes age dating, paleotemperature determination, and isotope tracers in natural systems.

Original research usually involving a field or laboratory problem in the environmental sciences under the direction of one or more faculty members. The results may form the basis of an undergraduate thesis which is required to partially fulfill the Distinguished Majors Program in environmental sciences. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

A comprehensive treatment of global environmental factors affecting coastal marine systems, including climate change, sea-level rise, alterations in freshwater and sediment transport, disturbance and habitat loss, overfishing, alien species, andeutrophication. Includes case studies providing real-world examples and detailed reviews of the evidence of change and possible solutions.
