The role of humans as geologic agents, resource conservation, ecosystem management, and the problems that result from upsetting the established equilibria of geologic systems are illustrated using case studies with emphasis on scenarios in Florida. Possible field trips. Prerequisite: GEO 1200 or GLY 2XXXC (Physical Geology) or permission of instructor.
