Greening Urban Climates, Linked Course
Larry McKenna, The Department’s resident geologist is teaming up with the Geography’s Department Dr. Judith Otto for a linked class investigating urban environmental sustainability. The class will give students the tools to understand and address the challenges and opportunities of increasing urbanization in the world, through understanding of population growth, energy flows, and resource management. The linked course integrates earth systems science (understanding, measuring, and anticipating anthropogenic changes within earth systems) with urban geography, organized around the central concept of sustainability.
