University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This seminar-style course explores the interactions between our growing population and the planet's rapidly changing environment, investigating human-environment interactions in various regions of the world, with emphasis on evaluating the impact of climate change on the developing world and creating solutions for a sustainable future. The course will include virtual or in-person guest visits from climate scientists working in the Arctic and an Inupiat Eskimo from Barrow Alaska, visits to labs on campus where climate research is going on today, and work with researchers in analyzing data. Because this topic includes current events and politically charged issues, there will be considerable opportunity for students to discuss and respond to readings, and to introduce their own topics of interest.
