Environmental Sciences 84, Section 1
Discussions and Investigations of Campus Issues in Sustainability (1 unit, LG)
Professor William Berry
Wednesday 4:00-5:00, 55A McCone, CCN: 30824
There are a number of on-going campus programs on sustainability that include the climate change initiative, the planning of green buildings and issues in waste disposal. We will become familiar with these projects and take part in one or two of them. Students working on local environmental issues and those considering joining a student environmental issue group are encouraged to join the discussion to share their experiences.
Professor Berry teaches a number of courses in basic environmental science and has both research and teaching programs in impacts of climate change on environmental changes and on biodiversity. He directs an internship program in which students assist Bay Area environmental science teachers.
