BIOL 1170 — Ecology and Environmental Biology (TM) 4 Credits
This course provides a framework for understanding basic ecology and environmental science. It gives an introduction and overview of ecological concepts at the population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. Students will examine environmental impacts and solutions in the areas of air, water, and soil pollution; human population growth; energy use and alternatives; and biodiversity and conservation. The course has both a lecture and laboratory component and is intended for non-science majors. Because of similarities in course content, students who have taken BIOL 1030 Environmental Issues and Solutions should not take this course.
