EAS 354 - Environmental Earth Science Field School

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 12 DAYS)

Fieldwork in geomorphology, environmental geochemistry, and other aspects of environmental geoscience. Topics and location may vary, but typical focus areas are: environmental biogeochemistry; hydrological and water-quality measurement and monitoring; remote sensing and field mapping of surficial deposits; and field methods for reconstructing paleoenvironmental change. Introductory lectures and ten days of fieldwork. Requires payment of additional student instructional support fees. Refer to the Tuition and Fees page in the University Regulations section of the Calendar. Prerequisites: EAS 225 and consent of Instructor. [Faculty of Science]

Major processes of change in the contemporary environment, their history and their interrelationships (climate and sea level change, changes in atmospheric composition, deforestation, desertification, water resource depletion, soil erosion, atmospheric and aquatic pollution); global biogeochemical cycles and their role in environmental change. Prerequisite: One of EAS 208, 225 or 250. [Faculty of Science]

EAS 556 - Topics in Geomorphology and Sedimentology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Selected, contemporary theories of landscape and sediment formation in glacial, glaciofluvial, alluvial, and periglacial environments. [Faculty of Science]
