ENV Environment CoursesENV200Y1
The perspective scientists bring to the understanding and resolution of environmental concerns having global implications: forest ecosystems, atmospheric ecosystems, and conservation of genetic diversity. JIE222Y1
The foundation for students in the programs of the Division of the Environment and in the Environmental Studies Program, Innis College. Draws from relevant environmental domains in an examination of environmental degradation, the responses of various actors and models for a more sustainable society. ENV234Y1
The elements of biological diversity and its change in response to climatic, geological and human factors. Examination of ecological phenomena in relation to population, community and ecosystem processes with particular reference to the biomes of Ontario. Descriptive and experimental laboratory studies including some weekend field trips (total cost $50.00). (Provided by the Departments of Botany, Geology and Zoology and the Faculty of Forestry) ENV235Y1
The Earth’s natural environment; the formulation and evolution of the solid earth; internal dynamics; mantle-core differentiation; volcanism; tectonics. The biosphere: oceans, atmosphere, climate, ice-ages, global warming. The operation of the Earth as a physico-chemical system; time scales of processes, oceanic atmospheric coupling. The effects of human interventions: e.g. groundwater quality, stratospheric ozone. Measurement of relevant physical and chemical quantities. Students participate in field and laboratory studies. (Provided by the Departments of Chemistry and Physics.) ENV236Y1
A course emphasizing both the role of the environment in shaping human behaviour, and the impact of humans on the environment. Coverage includes human biological and cultural evolution, with an emphasis on North America since the last ice age, and concludes (Offered in alternative, even numbered, years) ENV299Y1
ENV315H1
Instrumental analysis techniques for environmental scientists of all disciplines. In addition to a solid grounding in the theory of each analytical technique, particular emphasis is placed on the laboratory work. In each lab, groups of two students receive instruction from an experienced analyst an the acquire hands-on experience using state-of-the-art analytical equipment for most of the techniques covered. These include INAA, XRD, XRF, SEM, AA, ICPOES, GC and IC. ENV321Y1
A bridge between the ideas of ENV221Y1/JIE222Y1 and their practical application in ENV421H1. Using case studies, the course critically assesses disciplinary contributions to management and conservation of natural capital. Students are expected to contribute knowledge from their respective companion disciplines in development of a critical assessment of policies. ENV398H0/399Y0
JIE410H1
Designed to prepare students for original environmental research on topics of current relevance. Development of skills and knowledge particular to interdisciplinary problem solving. ENV421H1
A research course for all students in the Division combining report writing, independent and group-based research on an interdisciplinary topic. Application of skills learned in JIE410H1. ENV481H1
Students participate and report in graduate seminars and faculty research projects or working groups sponsored by the Division, the Adaptation and Impacts Research Group (AIRG) or the Institute for Environmental Studies. ENV482H1
Students select 0.5 FCE worth of points from activities currently on-going in graduate courses on the environment. ENV490Y1
