Qualifications:
The natural environment contributes to and impacts society in various ways such as providing essential goods and services. Conversely, humans impact the environment, which often results in adverse effects. This course, therefore, examines natural systems with the goal of understanding physical and social causes of environmental problems, and strategies to mitigate or manage these issues. The physical, biological, geological and cultural dimensions of environmental problems are examined. Contemporary environmental issues such as population pressure, air and water pollution, climate change and desertification will be examined and discussed.

This course will be taught in person on the Moraga campus during the 2023 Fall term on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 - 9:15 am.

In addition to teaching, the instructor is expected to hold regular office hours (a minimum of one hour per week) in order to provide students with support outside of the classroom.

The successful candidate will hold an advanced degree in Environmental Science, Earth Science, or Earth Systems. Candidates should have a successful record of teaching experience at the undergraduate level and experience with online/hybrid instruction. Preference will be given to those who have previously taught EES 092.
