GEOL 1002 - HUMAN DRIVEN GLOBAL CHANGE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is an introduction to the quantification of human activities and human environmental impacts that form the basis for scientific inquiry in the `Anthropocene.¿ The course will emphasize both reconstruction of early human activities from environmental records (e.g., the advent of soil erosion or mining from sediment records) and analysis and interpretation of modern ¿big-data¿ resources (e.g., transformation of census records to chemical fluxes). Class examples and problems will focus on policy relevant facets of human activities, ranging from nutrient budgets to carbon dynamics to water and sediment fluxes.
