modelling with mathematics, centres on a mathematical model of how pollution levels in the Great Lakes of North America vary over a period of time, demonstrates that, by keeping the model as simple as possible extremely complex systems can be understood and predicted
 

materials from various disciplines bearing on our current environmental crisis, ways in which the crisis might be resolved, Disciplines to be consulted include ecology, thermodynamics, economics, value theory, and environmental history, integrative skills of philosophy to discern how materials from these disparate sources fit together: readings, discussion questions

basic principles of impact cratering, application of analytical tools, geological, geochemical and environmental studies: projects

mechanics of deformation of the crust and mantle, with emphasis on the importance of different rheological descriptions (brittle, elastic, linear and nonlinear fluids, viscoelastic): readings

how Earth’s global mean surface temperature is determined, natural greenhouse effect and how this contributes to a balanced global climate, human impact on the atmosphere including industrialisation & other sources of greenhouse gases that are connected to humans, means of measuring climate change available

practical applications of the continuum concept for deformation of solids and fluids, emphasizing force balance, stress tensor, infinitesimal and finite strain, rotation tensors, Constitutive relations applicable to geological materials, including elastic, viscous, brittle, and plastic deformation

combines aspects of geology, climatology, hydrology and soil science to present coherent introduction to surface of the Earth, emphasis on both fundamental concepts and practical applications, intelligent management of physical and chemical environment: production and movement of surficial materials, soils and soil erosion, precipitation, streams and lakes, groundwater flow, glaciers and their deposits

introduction, mass & energy fundamentals, physical chemistry & principles, organic chemistry, microbiology & microbial growth, erosion control & stormwater management, water, waste, air pollution, global events
