Human activity has fundamentally altered the biosphere, resulting in the development of novel ecosystems and driving a global rate of species extinction not seen for millions of years. The field of Conservation Biology aims to understand and address the impact of human activity on ecological systems. In this seminar, we will use contemporary primary literature in Conservation Biology to examine the causes and consequences of species extinctions, as well as to assess efforts to conserve species and communities.

Prerequisite: One previous upper-level course in ecology or evolution, from Biology 210, 212, 248, 321, 350 or 352

Waitlist only. Students will be admitted by instructors.

Earthquakes are complex and fascinating geological events, and they have profound effects on human societies. In this course, we will explore the changing understanding of earthquakes and their geological mechanisms from antiquity to the present, as well as the ways in which societies respond to and prepare for life in seismically active zones of the world. Case studies will form an important element of the course. There is a required lab, and students will also be expected to spend two additional hours per week in a structured research setting.

Prerequisite: 100 level Geology course or prior History course

2nd five weeks, Extra Time Required
