| Although existing in habitats of their own design, humans cannot escape the biological and physical constraints on energy use, food production, population and interactions with other species. Applying ecological principles, participants examine the interactions of the human population, the use of renewable and non-renewable resources, and pollution problems and solutions. Course discussions focus on the ecological, economic and political considerations of dealing with environmental problems in the new century. Two field trips are scheduled.
This course is part of the Certificate of Accomplishment in Natural History Field Studies. |
