T3 409A - Geologic Resources

Institution:

Ohio University-Main Campus

Subject:

Tier III

Description:

Considers the interplay between extraction and use of mineral/energy resources and society. Plate tectonics and the rock cycle serve as examples of synthesis within the disciplines of the geological sciences. More interdisciplinary exercises in synthesis examine some of the geopolitical implications of resource distribution and how humans adapt their resource utilization as conditions change. Culminates with study of how the earth, oceans, and atmosphere interact as a system through which carbon moves and affects climate on multiple time scales. Effects of this system on society and vice versa are considered with regard to resource use.
