investigative way. Topics include energy use and

agriculture, local, regional and global air

pollution problems, and depleting of natural

resources. Focus on how biological function is

influenced by geological and chemical processes

is included, as well as land use and conservation

biology. How information is used to make resource

conservation decisions is explored, and current

events in environmental science and policy and

current efforts in resource/biodiversity

conservation will be explored. The laboratory

session will focus on controlled experiments
