BIOL 488Ecotoxicology from a Watershed Perspective

In the course catalog from Winter 2020 to Spring 2022; Open Data has no classes for it in that time.

The course will explore the scientific principles behind predicting the risk of environmental contaminants on ecosystems at the watershed scale. Using an environmental risk assessment framework, case studies will be used with an emphasis on local watershed issues, to more fully understand the mechanisms and processes that control and modify impacts of natural gradients and human activities on the ecology of drainage basins. The course may include a local field trip. [Offered W, even years] Field trip fee: $30-50 to offset cost of transportation.
