EAS 1600
Environmental Physics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

The relevance and importance of physics to understanding and solving environmental problems will be emphasized. Fundamentals of radiation, thermodynamics, and mechanics will be introduced and used to understand energy and mass transfers in natural and built environments. Students will describe, identify and use the basic principles of physics associated with energy and mass budgets and transfers as applied to the Earth's natural and built environment; discuss, assess and solve environmental physics problems, using a physics vocabulary and appropriately quantifying results; and use selected environmental sensors to evaluate environmental phenomena.

When Offered Spring.
