General Description:

      In this text, we focus on specific environmental issues and the scientific approaches used to address them. The emphasis is on the scientific method and the methods used to analyze and understand risks. These are critical techniques that are important to any well-educated student and can be applied to any field of study. The corresponding laboratory exercises allow the reader to use these techniques to address specific environmental problems based on real examples and data.

      The chapters have been designed around the topics listed above and each chapter:

• outlines objectives,
• has a corresponding set of laboratory exercises,
• is divided into sections (easily navigable using the side menu),
• has a review section to cover the major concepts,
• provides a self-testing section (with answers available),
• and concludes with citations and links to other web sites that further explore the topic.
