Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences Courses
EEPS 115: Introduction to Oceanography
The sciences of oceanography. Physical, chemical, biologic, and geologic features and processes of the oceans. Differences and similarities between the oceans and large lakes including the Great Lakes. Required: Sunday field trip.
Dates: June 5 - July 3, 2023
Session: 4 Week Session (1)
Dates:
Session: On campus
Time: MTWRF 9:00-10:45am
Instructor: Anne Omta
Credits: 3 credits
Department: Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences
EEPS 121: Environmental Science
An introduction to the Earth’s environmental systems and human interactions with those systems. In this course, students will be introduced to the earth’s life-supporting ecological systems, environmental pollutants, natural resources, and how humans interact with, and sometimes threaten, those systems. Students will explore the Earth’s major natural systems (climate, water, land, ecosystems, etc.) and how they are impacted by human activity, the sustainability/unsustainability of societal activities such as energy and mineral (oil, gas, coal, etc.) use, and interactions with natural hazards (tsunami, flooding, earthquakes, volcanic activities, freezing ice / rain, snow, etc.).

EEPS 225: Evolution
Multidisciplinary study of the course and processes of organic evolution provides a broad understanding of the evolution of structural and functional diversity, the relationships among organisms and their environments, and the phylogenetic relationships among major groups of organisms. Topics include the genetic basis of micro- and macro-evolutionary change, the concept of adaptation, natural selection, population dynamics, theories of species formation, principles of phylogenetic inference, biogeography, evolutionary rates, evolutionary convergence, homology, Darwinian medicine, and conceptual and philosophic issues in evolutionary theory.
Offered as ANTH 225, BIOL 225, EEPS 225, HSTY 225, and PHIL 225.
