The earth and its geography are discussed as a system of systems with feedbacks and interrelationships. Study of natural systems, cycles, and flows and natural and human induced changes in these systems. Topics include basic ecology, weather and climate, resources and resource stress (air, water, oceans, soils), natural hazards. Uses local, Arctic, and other regional examples. Special Note: A student may apply no more than 3 credits from ENVI A202, GEOG A205, ENVI A211, or GEOG A211 toward the graduation requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Crosslisted with GEOG A211

Historical and comparative analysis of Western, non- Western, indigenous and Native American philosophies, concerning the intrinsic, aesthetic and use values of nature and the land. Contemporary environmental ethics, including deep ecology, the land ethic, ecofeminism, and animal rights theories will be examined in detail. There will also be a focus on the ethical issues surrounding contemporary environmental controversies, such as land management, wildlife management, wilderness designation, sustainability, biodiversity and species preservation, private property and public commons, environmental racism, human overpopulation, development versus preservation, laboratory use of animals, vivisection, animal farming, subsistence, and sports hunting. Crosslisted with PHIL A303.
