The physical structure of the city results in a distinctive local climate that is linked to air and water quality, as well as to energy use. A geographical information system is used to assemble physical information from which to model the urban climatic environment, taking the example of Mississauga. Particular emphasis is placed upon the role of field measurements and satellite data as sources of geographical information. [

Earth is a dangerous place, and risk is an inherent feature of life on this planet. Some of the events and processes that we call "hazardous," such as floods, cyclones, coastal erosion, locust infestations, and forest fires, are natural environmental processes. We define them as hazards only when they pose a threat to human interests. In this course, we will examine both natural and technological hazards - their causes, their potential impacts on people, and their management and mitigation. [

This course is structured around one major weeklong field trip outside southern Ontario that will occur before fall-term courses begin, preparatory work, and approximately bi-weekly course meetings during the regular academic term to complete complementary work in computer and/or wet laboratories. Field projects will involve analyses and mapping of vegetation, soils, aquatic systems, hydrology, and/or geomorphology, and subsequent data analysis. Students will be required to write one major research paper and present projects to the class. Each student is required to pay the costs of his/her transportation and accommodation. Students must register with the Department by June and should contact the Department to find out more details about the specific fieldtrip plans.

Biogeochemistry explores the intersection of biological, chemical, and geological processes that shape the environment. In an era of unprecedented human-induced environmental and climate change, research in this field is advancing rapidly. This seminar course explores the processes underlying biogeochemical cycles and examines how humans alter these cycles. Topics include microbial and plant-mediated carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, controls on greenhouse gas fluxes and climate change mitigation strategies in soils, the role of biological diversity in biogeochemical processes, and exploration into how new molecular and isotope techniques are improving the study of biogeochemical processes.
