BIOL 452 - Biology and Environmental Science of Global Change

Credits: 3

We examine the major processes, causes, correlates, and consequences of anthropogenic global change from a biological perspective. These include climate change and carbon cycle disruption, nitrogen cycle disruption, and habitat conversion as well as global species extinctions, movements, and introductions. We also explore alterations of ecosystems that result and consider issues surrounding adaptation, mitigation of global change processes.
