Ecology/Earth Science/Infrastructure

This course invites students to consider and acknowledge the symbiotic relationship between the natural and built environments, and how our personal ecological footprint at the micro level and infrastructure at the macro level impact those environments. Course readings, movies and field trips help students understand the delicate balance between our ecosystems and urban contexts, and the need for development to occur in more sustainable ways. Students explore responsible decision-making tactics and processes such as the use of 'negative emissions' as a means of ecosystem restoration, and how to leverage our own agency and advocate for change.
