| Abstract: | Environmental change is a process that has happened continuously across geologic time, and which is currently affecting all species on Earth. This course will be a survey of the underlying scientific basis of the issues involved in global environmental change such as population growth, greenhouse warming, sea-level rise, fresh-water, and energy resources. We will also explore the role that humans are playing in altering these systems and examine our own impact as individuals. Over the course of the semester we will make our own analytical measurements both in the lab and in the field, analyze global datasets with GIS, and use computer modeling to understand relevant global systems. |
