GGR 22: Natural Disasters
3.00 Credits
Long Island University-C W Post Campus
This course intends to help students develop a critical and multidisciplinary approach to the study of natural and human triggered disasters. Extreme phenomena, such as earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, hurricanes, landslides, and floods, are studied both from a geophysical approach to understand their genesis/evolution, and from the socio-economic approach to understand their impact on the built environment. Current strategies for the management and control of emergencies, forecast technologies and disaster mitigation planning, as well as sustainable development policies for recovery and reconstruction after disaster will be discussed. ERS 22 cross-listed as GGR 22. Prerequisistes of ERS 1 or GLY 1 and ERS 2 or permission of the instructor.

GGR 27: American Urban Planning
3.00 Credits
Long Island University-C W Post Campus
The geography of modern life - our homes, roads, commercial centers, parks, and beaches - is an outgrowth of planning. Students examine key planners of the past 125 years to understand how we got here, traffic jams and all. Students explore how contemporary planners balance the complex interconnections among taxes, housing, environmental quality, transportation, economic development, and cultural diversity. Challenging questions about whether planners can move beyond today's fixation on economics and security and create cities that are more joyful, healthy, and socially just are considered. Same as ERS 27.

GGR 303: Human Geography: Man, Environment and Technology - Honors Core
3.00 Credits
Long Island University-C W Post Campus
The objective of the course is to provide an understanding of the geographical mosaic of ways of life on the Earth, "traditional" and "modern," "underdeveloped" and "developed." A space-time approach is adopted to consider the relationship between human beings and the natural environment and to describe the development of technology as a factor in the evaluation and use of earth resources. Commencing with the "clean slate" of the natural earth, the course describes human evolution on the planet and the various technological stages and their repercussions through which mankind has "progressed": the Old Stone Age way of life; the emergence of the Neolithic agricultural revolution and traditional farming; the modern Technological Revolution and the problems it has brought; the population explosion and hunger; and the disparity between the "have" and "have not" nations of the world. Must be in Honors Program
