This course, which is taught at Oregon State University in the fall, covers selected topics related to human impacts on ecosystems. Because relatively few topics are discussed, coverage of the topics is more complete than in many, more traditional, environmental science courses, which cover a little bit about many topics.
Information related to the course is available by clicking on the highlighted topics below.
Full notes for some of the lecture topics are accessible by clicking the topic titles below, while others are under development. One note about my philosophy in constructing this home page. Materials included are mostly text, rather than lots of pretty pictures. You will receive handouts of materials such as study guides, old exams, and graphs and tables in class.
