Biogeoscience
Biogeoscience Secondary Core, a graduate area of curriculum concentration
Colorado Stonefly
Introduction
The Biogeoscience secondary core in the Environmental Studies Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder provides education in the interaction of organisms (including humans) and the physical/chemical environment. There are four primary goals for students who pursue this secondary core. They are to:
- Understand the processes that regulate biogeochemical cycles over a range of time scales.
- Develop the quantitative and analytical tools to study biogeochemical processes.
- Understand and evaluate the impact of human activities on the biogeochemical cycles.
- Examine the interactions between species/ecosystems and the physical environment and the potential of species to modify physical systems.
