Description:

A. Leventer This course addresses the fundamental question of why humans explore and investigates scientific achievements based on voyages of discovery. Advancements in all scientific endeavors - from continental scale exploration, to exploration of the natural history of our planet, to exploration of outer space - are examined as students read the adventures of great explorers, ranging from famous Antarctic explorers, to less well-known paleontologists, naturalists, and astronauts. The class investigates the complex and crucial relationship between exploration and science, as well as issues of leadership, team building, group dynamics, and personal faith. Laboratory sessions focus on examination of real samples, and the generation and interpretation of data; these labs are derived directly from the scientific investigations detailed in the course readings.
