EASC 5250 - US Environmental Policy and Regulation (3)


Prerequisites: Entrance into the Earth Science M.S. program.  Other participants made on a case by case basis. This course is a study of the major legal, regulatory, and policy framework that emcompasses environmental programs and projects in the United States and with international political, commercial, and non-governmental institutions.  This course will maintain a dual focus on (a) the legal and regulatory aspects of environmental regulation and (b) the specific geographic and social features of actual cases in which regulations and policy are used.  We will review the architecture of US environmental law in depth, but also pay attention to the social and environmental context into which such laws and regulations must enter in order to be effective.
