ENVM 649 - Aquatic Pollution

Unit(s): 2

To evaluate the effects of pollutants in aquatic systems, we will draw upon concepts from toxicology, geochemistry, and natural history. Through this interdisciplinary blend, we will discuss the tension between the desire to regulate pollutants using simple metrics (e.g., the concentration in water) and the complexity required to assess the health of populations. Many examples are drawn from the San Francisco Bay and Delta.
