Master of Science Environmental Science
|
The Environmental Science Graduate Program will offer three new (EV594) courses this spring:
This course surveys the laws and agencies that regulate, enforce, and litigate current environmental issues. The course provides an introduction to the major federal environmental laws, including the Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, RCRA (waste disposal), and CERCLA (“Superfund”) statutes. It also introduces students to the local counterparts to these national policies, and to the common law actions (public and private nuisance) useful for individuals or communities seeking to address specific environmental concerns. The goals of this course are to provide students of the environmental and related sciences with (1) a basic understanding of the central statutes and legal framework by which the work of environmental science professionals is applied within the jurisdictions of the United States of America, and (2) insight into how various environmental challenges of the modern world are resolved in the nation’s courts and legislatures.
