ENVR 115 - Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
Credits: 3 Total Hours: 90
Using a physical geography approach, students will learn to describe two major components of Earth’s environmental system: the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Students will examine the relationship between these, including weather systems, climate controls and change, surface and subsurface hydrology, and basic oceanography. Students will explore these topics at global, regional, and local scales and apply course concepts to case studies including impacts of climate change, groundwater contamination, and ocean circulation patterns. Where possible, this course will incorporate examples of Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Students will also develop applied lab- and field-based skills such as weather sampling and prediction.
