Global Environmental Health Problems: Principles and Case Studies

3 credits · Nicholas School of Environment

Many environmental problems occur both locally & globally. Having insights and experience from different parts of the world is important for students to gain problem-oriented training. This course will cover fundamental principles on physical & chemical processes related to major environmental problems. These principles will then be integrated to discussions of case studies addressing a specific set of problems. The case studies will involve the participation of invited guest instructors who are experts on specific topics/cases. Depending on preference of guest instructors, they can introduce a case study via online lecturing/chatting or providing a pre-made video. Online course. Instructor consent required.
