- Objectives: Students are exposed to cutting-edge research and crucial policy initiatives within the broad field of environmental science and policy. Students learn to critically evaluate strengths, limitations, and effectiveness of research and policy approaches to environmental problems.
- Learning Outcomes: Exposure to, and critical analysis of, research or policy presentations by leading academic researchers or agency policy decision-makers addressing key environmental issues of the day.
- Major Topics: Vary with each semester, all in specific selected problems that require integration of environmental science and policy for effective solution.
