项目描述
The graduate program leading to an M.S. 或Ph值.D. in Environmental and Conservation Sciences (ECS) rests on an integrative curriculum and a multidisciplinary team approach. The program emphasizes the common ground shared by all sciences, and seeks to bridge methodological and philosophical boundaries that might hinder interdisciplinary communication and cooperation. The program offers three tracks: 环境科学, 保护生物学 and Environmental Social Sciences. The 环境科学 track focuses on abiotic environmental issues, 比如水, 空气, 土地污染. The 保护生物学 track focuses on biotic issues, such as the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem function. The Environmental Social Sciences track emphasizes environmental economics and policy.
The interdisciplinary nature of this program is reflected by the participation of faculty from across the campus, including the 大学s of Agriculture, 食物系统, and Natural Resources; Arts, 人文学科, and Social Sciences; Engineering; and Science and Mathematics.
环境科学
Areas of 环境科学, 比如气候变化, 地下水, 危险废物, 水化学, require broad training across discipline lines for successful application. To better predict anthropogenic environmental impacts, 工程, 地球材料, 化学, and biological data must be considered in an integrated manner.
保护生物学
保护生物学 focuses on the loss of regional and global biodiversity, but considers the human element as well in its approach to resource issues. 举个例子, 保护基因组学, 社区生态, 入侵生态学, endangered species management, and human-wildlife conflicts are themes for ECS 研究生 Students.
Environmental Social Sciences
Environmental Social Sciences focuses on Natural Resources Economics; Environmental Economics as related to Environmental policy.
