GEOG1

The relationship between people and the planet is complicated. Humans are changing the Earths environment at an alarming rate and negative impacts are disproportionately felt by already underserved populations. With an emphasis on climate change and social justice, in this course we explore issues facing Earth and humans and learn how geographers are working towards solutions. Topics include: oceans and coasts, health, food and water, forests and fire, cities and transportation, and diversity and conservation.
