Because environmental issues are constantly changing, it is critical that you consult current scholarly articles. And, because environmental studies is a multi-disciplinary topic, where you search for articles will depend on your topic and argument.

The best way to find articles is through Catalyst and our Databases & Indexes. We have a lot of databases that cover environmental topics. Some specific databases that may be useful for this class are listed on this page.
