| Description | Environmental Earth Science: In this course we will investigate
how the natural world operates and examine how society interacts
with Earth. Class discussions and weekly projects will introduce
the major concepts and techniques of earth science, environmental
sciences, and resource management, providing grounding in the
geosciences and forming a basis for the interdisciplinary study
of environmental topics. This course will emphasize a hands-on,
field- and lab-oriented approach to earth and environmental
science in which students will learn to observe, pose questions,
build hypotheses, and develop answers. We will explore the
history of our planet, and earth-shaping processes such as
continental drift, glaciations, and river erosion. By learning
how our planet evolves, we can then evaluate the current state of
Earth and solutions to environmental ills. Keywords:Earth, geology |
