Basic Principles and Calculations in Environmental Analysis

Catalog description

This course will demonstrate the dependence of environmental science on biology, chemistry and physics, and provide a contextual link between principles learned in basic science courses and the advanced environmental concepts presented in later required Environmental Resource Management (ERM) courses. Students will integrate the knowledge from each of these disciplines into an interdisciplinary framework. This course will teach Environmental Resource Management students basic problem solving skills while using examples taken from environmental media - air, water, and soil. Students will have many opportunities to examine, manipulate, and solve quantitative problems related to the environment. This is a required course for Environmental Resource Management majors.
