BIOL 315 - Sustainability Science

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
Sustainability science is a problem-driven field that focuses on both the protection of the environment and the maintenance and enhancement of life for current and future human generations. This course will explore some of the major scientific issues behind our understanding of sustainability by focusing on major themes of biodiversity, water, global change, energy and resources, food and agriculture, waste and human health. We will examine data from current research to understand the scientific basis of these problems, and to assess potential solutions. Particular attention will be given to issues in New York and in the United States through lectures, case studies and projects. Offered every spring.

Prerequisite(s): (BIOL 203  or ENVR 124 ) and (GEOG 111 /GEOG 112  OR GSCI 140 /GSCI 141 ).
