Global Changes, Microbial Forces

3 Credits

This course investigates how microbes that are invisible to the naked eye play highly influential roles in global environmental change. We will explore these phenomena in terrestrial and aquatic systems, from urban to remote regions. We will conclude by examining ways to harness the power of microbes to combat facets of global change. May be combined with EES 022 or EES 004 for 4 credits. Attribute/Distribution: CC, NS, NW
