GENERAL NOTES:

There are lots of 'environmental history' societies, departments, web-pages, course syllabi, etc. on line.  Many of these will have lists of references.  Explore!
https://history.wisc.edu/history328_fall2016_keyser.pdf

Encyclopedia-like materials are often not very useful for critical review purposes -- but they can be good for leading you to other sources.  For example:
http://americanhistory.oxfordre.com/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199329175.001.0001/acrefore-9780199329175-e-179

JOURNAL/MAGAZINE ARTICLES:

    Many of these are from the primary/scholarly/research literature.  That's not a requirement -- they're just easier to find (experiment with scholar.google.com).  If you find an interesting topic among them, you can use google or library data-bases to explore other, potentially less technical sources.  HOWEVER, note that many of the 'hard science' journals (like Nature and Science) also publish more synthetic and accessible reviews and newsy articles. A few are from sources like Atlantic Monthly or National Geographic or the like, and you could likely find more from such sources.
    Also, many of these are less explicitly historical than others.  It's okay within scope of the 'critical review' essays to address something that's more oriented towards 'current situation' -- but you should make an effort, in your review, to draw connections with historical perspective.
    Some of these are too short to support a review by themselves -- but you might combine them with others, or use them to lead you to other more substantive sources.
