Earth and Environmental Sciences
Undergraduate Lecture
W 8:40-9:55AM
This course focuses on the ecology, geology, and sustainability of Bermuda. Students will explore the local flora, fauna, geology and hydrology of various habitats in the context of environmental change brought on by issues such as rising global temperatures, invasive species, and development. Students will also look into sustainability issues, such as energy, drinking water, solid waste, and wastewater issues, some of which the country addresses in unique ways. The course will also contrast some of these topics with those in the NYC area and other subtropical and tropical islands. Classes will meet during the spring semester at Barnard in preparation for a field trip to Bermuda for five days during spring break. The final products of the semester will be a detailed field journal, a mini research project with an annotated bibliography, and a poster summarizing the results.
