  • BIOL 262 Ecological Physiology 6 credits

    This course examines the physiological adaptations that allow species to inhabit a wide range of environments including polar regions, deserts, high alpine, the deep sea, and wave-swept coastal habitats. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how organisms cope with environmental extremes (e.g., temperature, low oxygen, pH, salinity and pressure) and in using metabolic theory to predict the ecological impacts of climate change (e.g., global warming, ocean acidification, hypoxia). Associated laboratory will emphasize experimentation and application of physiological concepts in living organisms.

    Requires concurrent registration in BIOL 263.

    Waitlist Information: If you would like to waitlist for a BIOL 263 lab section, you will need to UNCHECK the box for the lecture section, BIOL 262, prior to completing the waitlist process. If you are offered a seat in the lab, you will be able to register for the lecture at the same time.

  • ENTS 289 Climate Change and Human Health 6 credits

    This course will survey the relationship between climate change and human health. The course will begin by exploring the science of the Earth’s climate before turning to an exploration of topics that illuminate the intimate relationship between climate change and human health. These include short-lived climate forcers and the climate and health impact of mitigation measures, extreme heat/drought, mosquito-borne diseases, indoor air pollution/biomass combustion/cookstoves, and biodiversity conservation.
