Description:
In three interdisciplinary, team-taught courses, undergraduate students examine global change from physical and human perspectives, and use case studies to explore conditions for sustainability. Students use Stella modeling software and ArcView GIS to examine the dynamics of natural systems and spatial impacts of human activities. Instructors from other institutions may use the online materials free of charge. (The University requests that instructors register with the program and follow its usage guidelines.)
