Students begin the semester with a study of populations, ecology and ecosystems.
We will study the interactions between organisms and their environment, and each other. We will look at organismal relationships, such as trophic structure and predation and the importance of predation in ecosystems. The second half of the semester will involve the study of the atmosphere and air pollution. We will study the atmosphere, its composition and dynamics of weather sytems. The focus will be on the effect of climate and weather on pollution.
