ERTH 380/HydrologyHydrology is the study of the processes that cycle water between the land surface, oceans, and atmosphere. The primary objectives of this course are to provide a balanced view of hydrology that includes the physical processes of precipitation, snowmelt, evapotranspiration, infiltration, surface runoff, and storage within the context of the techniques and software that are currently used by practitioners.

ERTH 537/EcohydrologyEcohydrology is an interdisciplinary science grounded in the interrelated ecologic and hydrologic mechanisms underlying environmental function. In this class, we study the biophysical processes associated with the movement of water through the soil-vegetation-atmosphere continuum, as well as potential feedbacks on these processes. |
ERTH 382/Hydrologic Field MethodsStudents develop hands-on experience with commonly used field methods and associated laboratory analyses to characterize the major components of the hydrologic cycle. Students learn to critically evaluate the theoretical basis for various field methods and data analysis approaches. |
ERTH 475/Senior SeminarThis is the culminating course for the Environmental Science degree. To prepare students for life after college, we focus on professional development (job searching, resume building, writing a cover letter, interviewing), major national and California-specific environmental policies and regulations that are broadly applicable to careers in the environmental sciences, and building the skills to communicate complex environmental problems. |
