Four-Year Course Plan To assist students in planning their upcoming course schedules, the Department provides a listing of courses offered and the corresponding instructors for the upcoming academic year(s). Ecology Geoscience Hydrology Atmospheric Science Natural Resources and Land Use Management Environmental Chemistry Field Methods and Data Acquisition General Environmental Science Environmental Law Human and Animal Health Environmental Management Ecology The word ecology is derived from the Greek word oikos, meaning "house". Literally taken, ecology is the study of organisms in their home. More often, ecology is defined as the study of organisms and the abiotic (physical environment). Within the Department, ecology covers a wide range of topics from nutrient cycling to ecological energetics. Specialties include terrestrial, aquatic, marine, and population ecology; resource conservation; and management of ecosystem resources. Fields of application within ecology include: aquatic ecology; fisheries consulting; forestry and agricultural management; parks and recreation; planning and management; resource conservation; toxic soil and water pollution research.
