ENVS at ESU is interdisciplinary!
In the lab or in the field,
you will have access to the tools
to work at all levels in the environment.
| Chemistry equipment: field meters for aquatic ecosystem analysis: pH, temperature, conductivity, salinity courses: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Environmental Quality Chemistry provided by ESU's Chemistry Department |
  |
| Geology/Geography equipment: soil analysis capability: nutrients, pH, texture; Global Positioning Systems Units; ArcGIS software for GIS courses: Physical Geology, Physical Geography, Global Information Systems (GIS), Geomorphology provided by ESU's Geography Department |
  |
Microscopic Tools
courses: these facilities are used to support a variety of courses that require SEM or light microscopic examination. |
   |
| Molecular,
Cell and Physiology Investigations equipment: electrophoretic separation apparatus, thermocyclers, centrifuges, -80 refridgeration, cell culture, digital electrode systems for physiology, Qubit photosynthesis system, spectrophotometers (UV and Vis). course examples: Plant Responses to Environmental Stress, Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology, Molecular Biology , General and Population Genetics. |
 |
Organismal Studies: more traditional "natural history" courses equipment: field sampling gear (nets, traps, etc.), vouchers of plants, insects, mammals, snakes, amphibians, birds. course examples: Plant Morphology, Field Botany, Ornithology, Entomology, Herpetology, Invertebrate Zoology |
   |
Ecosystem Studies equipment: GPS units, computer access to ArcGIS and topographic maps, field meters for determination of light, height of canopy, temperature, humidity, water quality (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity), field/lab colorimeters for nutrients in soils and water. course examples: General Ecology, General Aquatic Ecology, Stream Ecology, Marine Botany, Marine Ecology, Conservation Biology, Biogeography |
