Earth Systems Science: The Environment

This course provides a look at the earth system as a whole. Emphasis will be on the interrelation among biological, geological, climatological and human systems on continental and global scales. The links among these systems will be illustrated by present day processes and by the geologic record of scaled events in Earth system history. The course will include computer-based exercises and will also rely on Internet resources. Projects, papers, and presentations will be required.
