How can fiction help us understand and apply science? In this interdisciplinary class, we'll use climate fiction, climate change science, journalism reports, movies, and research on science communication to understand the role narratives can play in creating visions of the future and motivating us to take action. Students will learn to integrate across disciplines and explore how narratives in fiction and non-fiction writing shape public perceptions of scientific research.

Introduction to composition and structure of the atmosphere. Includes atmospheric thermodynamics through introductory cloud physics. PREREQ: MATH241 and GEOG220.
-
3.00 Credits
Physics and thermodynamics of cloud particles and precipitation. Includes cloud droplet growth, aggregation, precipitation, ice crystal formation, atmospheric electricity, optics, cloud-radiation interactions, acoustics and weather radar.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on food, resources, energy and population issues in relationship to economic development and the global environment. Engages students in discussion and debate on sustainable development policies.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates atmospheric motion in a quantitative manner. Expands basic conservation laws to derive the equations of atmospheric motion and to develop the concepts of vorticity and circulation. Discusses atmospheric wave motion and general circulation. PREREQ: MATH242 and GEOG220. COREQ: MATH243.
-
3.00 Credits
Variable content. Students will use interdisciplinary methods to investigate the history of racial inequalities in Delaware and the experiences of Black and Indigenous communities. Student research will lead to public-facing projects based on the discovery, exploration, and interpretation of historic sites and collections. This course enables students to participate in the University of Delaware's effort to acknowledge the ramifications of past social injustice and map out paths forward.

3.00 Credits
Examination of the historical and contemporary factors shaping the global food system. Studying processes and practices-such as production and consumption, policymaking, activism, commodity exchange-as well as, actors including states, producers and consumers, farmworkers, farmers and policymakers. Consider how production and consumption are framed and discuss the spatial organization of access to food and agricultural resources through digging into issues related to food justice and food sovereignty on local and global scales.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to hydrologic science. Topics include precipitation, snowmelt, evapotranspiration, infiltration, groundwater, runoff, streamflow, water resources management, and hydrologic applications of remote sensing and geographic information systems. Case studies illustrate hydrological response to changes in land-use and climate. Group studies include field measurements and computer simulations. PREREQ: MATH117 or MATH241.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines theory and methods for planning for more sustainable communities and regions in a global context in the twenty-first century. Sustainable development is defined and theories of sustainable planning presented that meet goals in the areas of environment, economy, and equity (the Three Es). After discussion of issues central to sustainable planning, course looks at tools for sustainable planning and how current land use and regional planning is and can become more oriented to sustainability. The University of Delaware is featured as an example of sustainable planning.
