ES 114 — Earth and the Envir onment
Students in this course will explore the ways people impact and are impacted by our Earth. Students will evaluate factors that determine how and which water, mineral and energy resources are used, and apply sustainability concepts to critique the costs and benefits of natural resource use. Both scientific and societal aspects of natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and floods will also be studied. Finally, impacts of human activities, such as population growth, pollution, land-use change, and global climate change will be interwoven throughout.
