ENV 200 - Sustainability Science

4 credit(s)
Sustainability Science probes interactions between global, social, and human systems, the complex mechanisms that lead to degradation of these systems, and concomitant risks to human well-being. Understanding the near-term and long-term effects of these actions on the quality of the environment requires a broad view of the science on how the earth functions without human intervention, and how society has changed these functions to support itself. Includes laboratory and field experiences.
