ENV 305 - Biogeochemistry, 4 credit hours

Notes: ENV 101 is a recommended prerequisite but not required.

Prerequisite(s): BIO 121, BIO 122, CHM 111, CHM 112, and CHM 115.
This course is an interdisciplinary examination of the physical, biological and chemical processes that control the flow of matter and energy in surface environments on planet Earth. This course emphasizes the interactions between abiotic and biotic processes and their impact on various biogeochemical cycles throughout the semester. We will also examine human dependence, interaction, and impacts on ecosystems and their function. Lab includes field studies and a weekend field trip.
