GEOG 331 - Geography of Environmental Problems

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: GEOG 121 or GEOG 122 or GEOL 100
Students apply geographic theory to complex interactions between humans and the natural environment that result in such environmental problems as climate change, ozone depletion, increased drought and flood, species extinction, groundwater contamination and soil erosion. In each case, the problem is examined from a spatial perspective, which in turn is used to examine green technologies or other adaptations that foster sustainability and the resilience of human communities. Offered alternate spring semesters.
