The ethical implications of how humans will deal with these environmental problems are investigated. This course includes a laboratory section that has experiments and activities specifically designed to facilitate knowledge acquisition of course subject matter. One or two all day field trips on weekends may be required in lieu of some regularly scheduled laboratory sessions.
