-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the geologic and geochemical processes at work in the solar system from the perspectives supplied by space age exploration of the planets and other solar system bodies.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: A course in the natural sciences, environmental policy, geography, or permission of the instructor. Possible courses include:CPSP123, ENSP101, ENSP102, GEOG100, GEOG201, GEOL100, GEOL120, MATH140, or PHYS117, {CHEM131 and CHEM132}, {CHEM135 and CHEM136}, or CHEM103. Focuses on energy systems and resources on a global scale. It addresses energy transfer in natural systems, distribution of energy resources in the natural world, and problems of efficiency and limited energy resources. It is appropriate for those interested in science and technical energy issues as well as policy, education and the media.
