GEOG30813

This course examines relationships between people and the environment from multiple perspectives, providing a context for thinking about the causes and consequences of environmental change and their spatial patterns around the world. Of particular interest are the cultural, ethical, economic, technological, and population considerations that make humans want to use, protect, destroy, or adapt to environmental systems and their components. This course will also address the function of specific environmental systems themselves, including how they influence and respond to human actions.
