Gain an understanding of the complex interactions among Earth’s environmental systems: the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere. Learn to analyze and manage human-environment interactions and impacts that integrate elements from chemistry, mathematics and physics, soil science, hydrology, geomorphology, glaciology, meteorology and biogeography. Courses cover topics such as climate change, water resource analysis, natural resource management, ecosystem science, quantitative methods using geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing, statistical analysis and environmental models. Both fieldwork and laboratory techniques are emphasized with opportunities to participate in Co-op and work placements.
