ENVR2305

This course is designed to introduce and train students in environmental science field methods. These methods will identify issues in the environment that are caused by either human activities or natural disasters and discover the cause of the problems. The course will contain several topics in environmental science such as water quality of surface water and ground water, air quality, soil health, glacial deposition, and the reconstruction of paleoenvironments. Student Learning Outcomes
