Integrates issues in conservation biology and environmental management with the deep temporal perspectives of paleontology and zooarchaeology. Zooarchaeological studies are integrated to highlight temporal perspectives on biogeography, biological invasion, ecological restoration and environmental philosophy/ethics. Divided into three sections that are discussion oriented: theory-concept-philosophy, case studies, and extinctions in deep time.

Prerequisite(s): Admission to the graduate program in environmental science, environmental philosophy or geography.
