GES 302A Selective Topics in Geography Conservation 3 credits
Biology
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This course
focuses on the biology that underlies
conservation problems and the challenges
we face as a society. This course will
introduce some of the litrature,
controversies, and promising methodologies
used in Conservation Biology. Objectivity
and sound research design are essential
for scientific progress, thus major
emphasis will be on carefully evaluating
each issue in a rigorous, scientific
context. Specific goals of the course are:
(1) To introduce the principal conncepts &
methodologies of Conservation Biology, (2)
To enrich understanding of the scientific
contributions necessary for solving
conservation problems, (3) To foster
understanding of the process of science in
general,and as applied in conservation
contexts, (4) To further develop
analystical and communication skills,
thereby improving the ability to
contribute to creating solutions. Classes
will consist of lectures and discussion on
particular issues and readings.
Prerequisite: GES 120 and BIOl 100, or for
Biology Majors BIOL 100 only.

Policies
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD The course will
focus on threatened and endangered species
in the United States and the evolution of
natural resource policies and wildlife law
to protect wildlife. In particular, we
will examine why the 1973 Endangered
Species Act (ESA) has become the most
controversial environmental law on the
books through an examination of several
ESA case studies that will provide us the
opportunity to investigate the conflicts
that have arisen in response to efforts to
protect species. We will also discuss
worldwide efforts to protect biodiversity
such as the 1975 Convention on the
International Trade of Endangered Species
of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the
1992 Convention on Biological Diversity.

GES 400A Selected Topics In Geography Arctic 3 credits
Geography
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD The course is
designed to provide students with a
comprehensive understanding of Arctic
geography, including the physical,
biological, and cultural characteristics
of the region. With one of the harshest
climates on Earth, the Arctic region has
many unique features. Climate change due
to human-enhanced emissions of greenhouse
gases has already been observed at high
latitudes and these changes are altering
the entire region. These changes in the
arctic will have ripple effects on the
entire globe. The importance of this
region is reflected in the establishment
of 2007-2008 as the International Polar
Year. We will examine the present state of
the Arctic as well as possible futures
related to climate change. Prerequisite:
One upper division course in physical
geography or environmental science, or
permission of the instructor.
