pollution on health. Methods of evaluating, treating, and preventing
pollutants of health significance.
EES 6007: Advanced Energy and Environment (3) Energy basis
for a system of humanity and nature, including principles of systems
ecology, ecological economics, and public policy.
EES 6009: Ecological Economics (2) Examines new research
areas; models and mathematical theories common to ecology and
economics, interfaces between ecology and economics, and
relationships of energy and money.
EES 6026C: Environmental Systems Dynamics (3) Prereq: CGS
2425 or equivalent. Feedback principles and methods introduced
and used to develop and test hypotheses of causes of dynamics in
environmental systems. Hypotheses tested through computer
modeling.

in freshwater, marine and soil environments. Stress of pollution on
microbial communities. Adsorption of microorganisms to surfaces.
EES 6136: Aquatic Autotrophs (3) The function of algae and
macrophytes in lake systems. Environmental problems associated
with excessive growth of algae and macrophytes, and methods for
their control.
EES 6137: Aquatic Heterotrophs (3) The role of zooplankton,
benthic invertebrates, and fish in freshwater systems. Emphasizes
trophic-level interactions, nutrient cycling, and the potential of each
group for predicting water quality.
EES 6140: Biology of Exotic Species (3) Prereq: EES 4103.
