COURSE DESCRIPTION:
ES 190 is a one-unit P/NP course with no prerequisites. This is a required course for ES majors, but it is open to all UCSB students and the campus and general public. It can be taken up to three times for credit (i.e. you may log a total of 3-credits for ES 190). The
course is intended to provide insight into current issues in the diverse
areas that constitute environmental studies.
TOPIC:
Close to the California mainland, yet worlds apart, the remarkable CA
Channel Islands and their ocean environment offer an amazing wealth
of natural and cultural resources. This quarter ENV S 190 speakers
will offer a unique perspective on the island’s incredible geological
and human history, its animals, plants, and archeological resources
found nowhere else on Earth, and what is being done to manage and protect
them for future generations.
Any UCSB student, staff or community member is welcome to sit on any one or more talks during the quarter!
