Environmental Hydrology — ES4105.01

Spring 2024
Instructor: Tim Schroeder
Credits: 4
Fresh water is perhaps the world’s most critical resource. Giant engineering projects are built to control water distribution, wars and legal battles are fought over who controls water, and the problems will only get worse as populations grow. This course is a broad survey of hydrology, the study of the distribution, movement, and quality of water. Students will be

Evolution, Cognition, and Behavior — BIO2130.01

Fall 2023
Instructor: Blake Jones
Credits: 4
Are nonhuman animals ‘intelligent’? How do they communicate? Do they form life-long memories? Why have different cognitive abilities evolved in different animals? This course will explore these questions and more by integrating across disciplines all aimed at understanding how animals (including humans) have evolved to behave and think. The discovery that nonhuman animals

Extragalactic Astronomy — PHY4216.01

Fall 2017
Instructor: Hugh Crowl
Credits: 4
Galaxies are massive collections of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter. They are both the birthplace of stars and planets and the signposts of the universe. By studying what happens inside galaxies, we are able to understand the conditions under which stars form. By studying the galaxies themselves, we can understand how the environment shapes their structure and makeup. By
