| EVS3101 | 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. | ||

| EVS3120 | 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. | ||
| Top | ||
| EVS3501 | Problèmes environnementaux I | (3,0,0) 3 cr. |
| Revue interdisciplinaire des problèmes environnementaux actuels, y compris leurs aspects scientifiques, leurs effets socio-économiques, l'évaluation de leurs impacts et leurs actions correctives. Les sujets varient d'une année à l'autre mais peuvent comprendre l'étude des problèmes liés à la biodiversité, aux ressources renouvelables, à l'énergie aux contaminants, aux CFC, au drainage des déchets de mines, aux déchets nucléaires ou aux épanchements accidentels de pétrole. L'accent est mis sur les discussions et les séminaires d'étudiants. | ||
| Préalables : BIO2529, EVS1501, GEO1511 et GEO1515. Cours offert uniquement pour les étudiants inscrits au programme de Sciences environnementales . | ||

| EVS3520 | Microbiologie environnementale | (3,0,0) 3 cr. |
| Étude des microbes présents dans une vaste gamme d'environnements: des sédiments marécageux et lacustres, aux nappes phréatiques et dans la lithosphère profonde en passant par les zones désertiques et les glaces polaires. On met l'accent sur les rôles que les microbes jouent dans les cycles biogéochimiques, les processus d'oxydo-réduction, la mobilité des contaminants, la biodégradation et la productivité de l'écosystème. | ||
