Prof. John Spiers
This course examines the environmental history of America from
pre-Columbian times to the present. At a basic level, environmental history
looks at the interactions between people and the natural environment over time.
It explores how people have thought about and altered the natural landscape and
what the consequences have been for the environment and humans alike. It also
considers how elements of nature, such as plants and animals, geography and
climate, and ecological resources like air, water, and soil have shaped
possibilities for human life and society. In this course we will examine a
variety of topics including: the impact of American Indians on the environment
before the arrival of Europeans; the ecological revolution of European
colonialism; the market revolution and the development of slavery; Western
expansion; urbanization; the rise and influence of environmental activism; and
the emergence of global environmental concerns like climate change. This course
will encourage you to think critically and creatively about people’s
ever-changing relationship with the natural environment. .
Professor
Clare O’Connor will be offering BIOL 1420: Genetic Century in Dublin, Ireland
this summer. This course counts as an
ENVS elective.
Dear Students
I am a professor in the Political Science Department.This
summer I am teaching a summer course that includes a rafting trip down the
Grand Canyon. The course is open to all BC undergraduates and also to students

The Center for Public Leadership
(CPL) at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS)
has just announced the launch of the Louis M. Bacon Environmental Leadership
Program, a fellowship for emerging leaders in environmental public policy and
practice.
As CPL seeks to recruit our inaugural cohort of five fellows, I am writing to ask for your help getting the word out. We are looking to recruit future leaders in the environmental community who are currently working in NGOs, government, and business to apply to HKS by December 2, 2014. These fellows will come to Harvard and immerse themselves in discussions about environmental challenges; they will learn from Harvard faculty and from each other, and will emerge with new skills and ideas to apply to the world.
The Bacon Fellowship will provide a full tuition scholarship, health insurance, a $10,000 living stipend, and a comprehensive co-curricular program for up to five admitted HKS degree candidates each year. Students from joint-or concurrent-degree programs are encouraged to apply.
To apply for the 2015-2016 academic year, prospective degree candidates will have to complete two steps:

Our own marine biologist, as well as local marine biologists, will be lecturing about these ecosystems, the various animals that live in these unique habitats, and any potential conservation issues that these ecosystems or specific species in the area face. We will then be taking the students into the field to experience these ecosystems and to observe the animals in their natural environment through scuba diving, snorkeling, beach walks, and exploring tidal pools.
This year we are conducting 3 courses to accommodate different winter break schedules, however course #2 is currently full. The dates are below:

Summer courses:
Want
to gain hands-on marine research experience in Florida this summer while
advancing your interest in natural science, padding your resume, receiving
credit hours (see below), and having tons of fun? Here is your
opportunity!!!
Coastal Marine Education and Research Academy (CMERA) is offering weekly sessions of natural science field research in the beautiful Clearwater, Florida area. Most other research or internship opportunities available to you this summer will require long hours of lab work with little to no field work. We are offering a 100% field research opportunity. Come spend as many weeks as you would like with CMERA this summer and everyday will be spent on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico. As we conduct research on sharks and rays we will be catching and handling wild animals (sharks, stingrays, other fishes, crabs, and many other marine organisms) while learning about their anatomy and ecology. You will also attend lectures on our local ecosystems (sea grass beds, mangrove forests, coral reefs, artificial reefs, sand flats, and estuaries) and the animals that live in each habitat so that you will better recognize each aspect of the ecosystem and the animals as you experience them!! You will also learn about and gain experience in the difficulties of designing and conducting field research, which is especially useful for those of you pursuing a career in research or continuing on to graduate school. The hands-on experience you will gain during this program is applicable to all scientific careers!
There are other opportunities available to you if you want to work in a lab this summer, but we are the only organization that offers 100% field experience!! While lab work is very important in science, we believe that in the natural science disciplines filed work is equally as important. We believe that to truly learn about an organism or an ecosystem you must spend time with it in its natural habitat. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in any discipline of the natural sciences!
We will provide email addresses, by request, of previous participants, if you would like to speak to a previous student.

If you care about the environment and want to make a
difference, apply
to be an Environment Massachusetts intern today.
What do interns with Environment Massachusetts do? You’ll educate and engage more people on the most critical environmental issues of our time. You’ll get our issues into the media, build coalitions, organize events and lobby decision-makers. Ultimately, you’ll help us build the kind of public support it takes to win.
In Massachusetts, we’re building a clean and renewable future powered by the sun: We could meet all of America’s energy needs by capturing just a sliver of the virtually limitless and pollution-free energy of the sun. And we're making a lot of progress: In Massachusetts, solar energy has grown more than 100-fold since 2008.
But we’re still getting most of our electricity from dirty sources like coal and gas, and the power of fossil fuel interests threatens to stop solar in its tracks. This fall, we’re ramping up our work to build support for a national goal of getting 10% of our electricity from the sun by 2030 — and in Massachusetts, we’ll push the envelope by mobilizing public support and building a powerful coalition of businesses and elected officials behind ambitious clean energy goals.
Becoming an Environment Massachusetts intern
If you agree that it’s time for Massachusetts to go solar, the best thing you can do to get involved is to apply to be an Environment Massachusetts intern today. We’re looking for students who care deeply about the environment and are ready to make a difference now.

while developing valuable skills and experience in one of the nation’s
leading environmental nonprofits.
And if you’re thinking you might want to make a career out
of solving our greatest environmental problems, interning with Environment
Massachusetts is one of the best ways to get started. You’ll get the training
