课程简介
环境学（英文）课程主要内容基于Eldon D Enger, Bradley E Smith所著的Environmental Science: A Study of Interrelationships (14th edition)英文原版教材，以环境与多学科交叉，环境问题处理复杂性为主线，分别从环境科学与其他交叉学科关系、环境伦理、环境与生物、人口种群特征、能源、生物多样性、土壤及其利用、水管理、空气质量问题、固体废物管理与处置等方面，多方位、多层次、多角度地阐述人类与环境之间的相互作用原理，讨论环境问题的折中解决方法，是一门系统了解和掌握环境科学基础知识和基本理论的课程。
该课程的教学任务是让学生认识环境科学的本质．研究对象．研究内容；掌握环境科学的基本概念．原理和方法，了解全球环境状况及环境变化规律；了解人类社会经济活动对环境的影响；认识污染物在环境中迁移转化的一般规律；了解预防．控制和治理环境污染的主要技术、原理与方法，提高学生的环境保护意识，树立可持续发展的环境理念，具有全球视野，并掌握环境相关英文术语。
