    Description
    An introductory and multidisciplinary study of our environment from a scientific perspective, focusing on physical, chemical, and biological processes within the Earth system. Emphasis is on the impact of human population and policies in regard to air, water, land use, resources, and waste management and the role of science in finding sustainable solutions. If this course is taken online, proctored exams will be required, either at Hartnell College or at an approved remote site. If the exam is to be administered offsite, it is the student's responsibility to arrange for the site and proctor, provide contact information for the proctor to the instructor, and obtain consent for this arrangement from the instructor prior to the exam date.
