Environmental Issues |
(3,0,0) 3 cr. |
| An inter-disciplinary examination of current environmental issues, including scientific aspects, socioeconomic concerns, environmental impacts, and remedial actions. Topics vary from year to year and can include biodiversity, renewable resources, energy, environmental contaminants, or specific issues such as CFC's, acid mine drainage, nuclear waste or oil spills. Emphasis is placed on student seminars and discussion. |
| Prerequisites: BIO2129, EVS1101, GEO1111, GEO1115. For students in the Environmental Science programme only. |

Environmental Microbiology |
(3,0,0) 3 cr. |
| An examination of microbes in the vast array of environments in which they occur, from wetlands and lake sediments, aquifers and deep crustal settings, to polar ice and desert surfaces. Emphasis on the roles that microbes play in biogeochemical cycles, redox processes, contaminant mobility, biodegradation, and ecosystem productivity. |
| Prerequisite: BIO2129. |

Probl�mes environnementaux I |
(3,0,0) 3 cr. |
| Revue interdisciplinaire des probl�mes environnementaux actuels, y compris leurs aspects scientifiques, leurs effets socio-�conomiques, l'�valuation de leurs impacts et leurs actions correctives. Les sujets varient d'une ann�e � l'autre mais peuvent comprendre l'�tude des probl�mes li�s � la biodiversit�, aux ressources renouvelables, � l'�nergie aux contaminants, aux CFC, au drainage des d�chets de mines, aux d�chets nucl�aires ou aux �panchements accidentels de p�trole. L'accent est mis sur les discussions et les s�minaires d'�tudiants. |
| Pr�alables : BIO2529, EVS1501, GEO1511 et GEO1515. Cours offert uniquement pour les �tudiants inscrits au programme de Sciences environnementales. |

Microbiologie environnementale |
(3,0,0) 3 cr. |
| �tude des microbes pr�sents dans une vaste gamme d'environnements: des s�diments mar�cageux et lacustres, aux nappes phr�atiques et dans la lithosph�re profonde en passant par les zones d�sertiques et les glaces polaires. On met l'accent sur les r�les que les microbes jouent dans les cycles biog�ochimiques, les processus d'oxydo-r�duction, la mobilit� des contaminants, la biod�gradation et la productivit� de l'�cosyst�me. |
| Prerequisite: BIO2529. |
