You should have a copy of the textbook, Principles of environmental science,” Cunningham and Cunningham, 3rd edition available, as you start this online lecture. Since the subject of environmental science is extremely broad, and can encompass just about anything, we will not be aiming to cover everything about environmental science, but to consider some basic principles and specific case examples, particularly those that relate to our everyday lives and are of regional importance. * 在浩瀚无垠的宇宙中，地球是迄今发现存在智能生物的惟一天体。人类在创造灿烂文明的同时，环境问题也日益受到关注，并且已经发展到全球性问题，如全球气候变化、酸雨、臭氧层耗竭、有毒有害化学品和废弃物转移、生物多样性减少、海洋污染等问题，以及严重影响人类的生存和发展。人与自然环境的关系是对立统一的，尊重环境，环境才让你受益。环境保护是一项艰巨的任务，我们要增强保护和改善环境的责任感和自觉性。本专题首先对环境、环境问题、环境科学和环境保护做一概况介绍。 * Since humans currently have little impact on matters outside our solar system, the earth will be our frame of reference. Presently, we dont know whether the universe as portrayed in science fiction shows such as Star-Trek (where there are nearly limitless numbers of worlds inhabited by life) is real or not; or whether the opposite perspective is correct - that we are alone in the universe. We do know that even if we are alone it is quite an interesting world in which we live. The earth includes literally millions of individual organisms, many of which are interconnected through complex ecological relationships that humans can spend their lives trying to understand, and actually make little headway in doing so. We are also discovering that the requirements for life are not as narrow as we might have once thought. For instance, research in deep ocean trenches (including that done by UW researchers) reveals an abundance of life in areas that we once thought couldnt support life at all. Here. living organisms get their energy from chemical elements whose source is deep inside of the earth ra
