Welcome to Mr Shirmer's Environmental Science Page! This course provides a comprehensive overview of environmental science. By using an "earth systems" approach, we recognize society and the environment as an interrelated system. Throughout this course, we will examine environmental issues investigate realistic solutions. There is no prerequisite except an interest in the environment and enjoying the outdoors. In this course, you will experience a broad exposure to Environmental Science, ranging from the general structure of the earth and how it works to issues like biological diversity, pollution, and global change. Case examples range from local to global environmental issues. This is a fun course for students and the instructor, and I believe it will enhance your perspective of our earth. Students are expected to be motivated and spend extra time studying outside of class. The problem-solving strategies obtained during this course will prepare students to make environmentally conscience decisions in any career field.
