ENS 199 Introduction to Environmental Studies II
Introduction to Environmental Studies II is the second part of a two-course introductory sequence that explores the field of environmental studies from the disciplinary perspectives of the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. This course will explore global environmental change by examining anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem structure, function, and services with a particular focus on energy and industrial systems. The impacts of these systems on environmental health, public health, and the climate system will be explored along with the intersections among these systems, the human population, and our associated ethical, economic, and political institutions. Introduction to Environmental Studies II will also explore diverse solutions to the major environmental problems facing society.
