Basics of microbiology and biochemistry. The biochemical and biophysical principles of biochemical reactions, energetics, and mechanisms of energy conservation. Diversity of microbial catabolism, flow of organic matter in nature: the carbon cycle, and biogeochemical cycles. Bacterial physiology, phylogeny, and the ecology of microbes in soil and marine sediments, bacterial adhesion, and biofilm formation. Microbes in the degradation of pollutants. Prerequisites: CHEM 33, CHEM 121 (formerly CHEM 35), and BIOSCI 83, CHEMENG 181, or equivalents.

Introduction to microbial metabolic pathways and to the pathway logic with a special focus on microbial bioenergy systems. The first part of the course emphasizes the metabolic and biochemical principles of pathways, whereas the second part is more specifically directed toward using this knowledge to understand existing systems and to design innovative microbial bioenergy systems for biofuel, biorefinery, and environmental applications. There also is an emphasis on the implications of rerouting of energy and reducing equivalents for the fitness and ecology of the organism. Prerequisites: CHEMENG 174 or 181 and organic chemistry, or equivalents.

Urban agriculture takes many forms in cities around the world and provides significant amounts of food and other resources and benefits for urban communities. This Earth Systems practicum explores the application of agroecological principles to the design and stewardship of urban farms and gardens. Students will explore social and ecological dimensions of urban agriculture including issues of environmental justice while gaining land stewardship and small-scale food production skills at the Stanford Educational Farm and in the community.

Urban agriculture takes many forms in cities around the world and provides significant amounts of food and other resources and benefits for urban communities. This Earth Systems practicum explores the application of agroecological principles to the design and stewardship of urban farms and gardens. Students will explore social and ecological dimensions of urban agriculture including issues of environmental justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion while gaining land stewardship and small-scale food production skills at the Stanford Educational Farm. This is a 20-week (Winter and Spring quarters) Cardinal Course. Students will work with a community-based organization over both quarters to gain practical experience in the field. Students are required to enroll in and complete both Winter ( EARTHSYS 181A, 2 units) and Spring ( EARTHSYS 181B, 2 units) courses to receive credit for a total of 4 units. Space is limited and a brief application is required: https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cJdl7V8aXE2AOUu
