Environmental Toxicology
BIOC65H3
An introduction to the scientific study of the effects of toxic chemicals on biological organisms with special emphasis is placed on the chemistry of major toxicant classes, and on how toxicants are processed by the human body.
Environmental Chemistry
CHMB55H3
This course will include an introduction to atmospheric chemistry, aqueous chemistry, some agricultural and industrial chemistry, and chemical analysis of contaminants and pollutants.
Introduction to Green Chemistry
CHMD89H3
The 'twelve principles' of green chemistry will be discussed in the context of developing new processes and reactions (or modifying old ones) to benefit society while minimizing their environmental impact.
Water Management in the Ancient Mediterranean World
CLAD05H3
This seminar type course addresses issues related to the relationships between ancient Mediterranean societies and their hydric environments in the Mediterranean from 5000 BC to 600 AD.
Introduction to Planet Earth
EESA06H3
Water
EESA07H3
This course consists of a survey of the planet's water resources and the major issues facing the use of water.
Human Health and the Environment
EESA10H3
This course explores the relationship between the incidence of disease in human populations and the environmental pollution.
Principles of Geomorphology
EESB02H3
Principles of Hydrology
EESB04H3
The water and energy balances; fluxes through natural systems and process at the drainage basin scale: precipitation, evaporation, evapotranspiration and streamflow generation are discussedin this course.
Groundwater
EESC07H3
This basic course in hydrogeology introduces the principles of groundwater flow and aquifer storage and shows how a knowledge of these fundamental tools is essential for effective groundwater resource management and protection.
Sustainability in Practice
EESC34H3
This course is intended for students who would like to apply theoretical principles of environmental sustainability learned in other courses to real world problems.
Contaminant Hydrogeology
EESD02H3
Natural hydrochemical processes; the use of major ions, minor ions, trace metals and environmental isotopes in studying the occurrence and nature of ground water flow.
Advanced Watershed Hydrology
EESD11H3
The motion of water at the hill slope and drainage basin scales and the relationship between surface and subsurface hydrological processes are examined in this course
Fundamentals of Site Remediation
EESD15H3
This course consists of a study of the ways in which hazardous organic and inorganic materials can be removed or attenuated in natural systems.
Water Quality Control
