NW 260-COE - Earth Systems Science

Min Units: 5
Max Units: 5
In this course, we will use an earth systems perspective to view environmental phenomena, such as global climate change, and the impact of humans on the environment. By the end of the class, students will gain an awareness of some significant scientific theories and achievements, and to recognize how they are related both to other areas of science and to our understanding of broader societal issues. In addition, students will develop an understanding of the methods of natural science and a capacity to reason scientifically, as well as experience first-hand the scientific process method through discovery-based learning.
