环境科学理学学士-环境地球系统

这种关注结合了物理学和生命科学，以检验诸如大气层和生物圈等相互作用的地球系统如何影响自然和人类改变的环境。学生将以碳，养分和水循环，冰川环境和地貌，生物多样性以及天气和气候等形式对地球的各个领域及其相互作用有更深入的了解。深入探讨了人类活动对这些领域的影响，例如碳排放和气候变化，采矿和伐木，对生物多样性的威胁以及解决这些问题的方法，例如退化的生态系统的恢复。学生将使用数学或统计模型，地理信息系统（GIS），遥感以及现场/实验室方法对一个或多个地球系统的变化进行定量分析。
Pursuing a degree in environmental science will have you exploring the relationships between humans and the environment, drawing on a diverse range of disciplines. By examining Earth's physical, chemical and biological processes, you will learn how to think critically about how the world works, and use science to address environmental problems. You will tailor your degree to your interests by choosing from six streams: Applied Biology, Environmental Earth Systems, Environmetrics (environmental statistics), Water Science, Environmental Archaeology, or General Environmental Science.<br><br>This stream is for students interested in an integrative understanding of environmental processes and earth systems. Students develop technical skills in quantitative research and use technology to analyze spatial data.
