The desired outcome of the curriculum delivered in environmental studies and sciences (ESS)
programs at U.S. universities typically follow one of three ideal models- those focused on the
systems sciences, those focused on policy and governance, or those focused on:
a. adaptive management.
b. environmental resource conservation.
c. frontline practices of sustainability.
Friedrich Ratzel's concept of lebensraum was turned to expansionist geopolitical ends through a
particular reading of the work of Charles Darwin. One of the assumptions that Ratzel made in
applying Darwin's ideas to the political world was that both animals and nation-states are:
a. changing through the process of evolution.
b. engaged in a competition where only the fittest will survive.
c. surviving and developing in substantial part through cooperative strategies.
In qualitative research, it often helps to distinguish between descriptive codes, which are often

Climate scientist Mike Hulme argued that people who tend to see nature as benign or resilient,
and who believe that we can adapt in part by making greener consumption choices and in part
by embracing a future that will involve broadly tolerable levels of climate change, tend to be:
a. egalitarians.
b. hierarchists.
c. individualists.
Consider the following abstract from a research article published in a peer-reviewed journal
titled Geographical Review: "Research on the human dimensions of global climate change
should consider the way [that] at-risk populations confront uncertainty through cultural
practices. This is a vital point for Indigenous peoples around the world, but particularly for those
in the Arctic region where the effects of climate change are most dramatic. The Iñupiat of Arctic
Alaska are especially susceptible to climatic and associated environmental changes, because
they rely on sea ice to hunt the bowhead whale. [T]his paper reveals Iñupiaq cultural resilience…

The preservation of water resources needs sustainable urban water management strategies that combine ecological health maintenance with these priorities. This study investigates combined strategies that involve rainwater collection together with wastewater treatment and the deployment of green infrastructure consisting of urban wetlands alongside permeable pavements. The research aims to discover multi-purpose solutions that decrease flood dangers together with water shortages while maintaining ecological health for long-term urban water management success. The research investigates ways in which novel solutions assist cities to create watertight urban areas capable of handling environmental pressures from global warming and population expansion.
