Geography 664 - Water Sustainability & Action

The course focuses on current issues related to water, and individual and group action that can improve water sustainability. In class, we explore four current issues: freshwater sustainability and development, bottled and tap drinking water, marine fisheries, and the Connecticut River. One third of the grade and about 16-20 hours homework time is student-led action projects to advance water sustainability; you?ll reflect and write on and discuss these experiences. Grad students meet one hour/wk extra to read, discuss and analyze scholarly articles, reports, and policy. One all-day weekend field trip is required; date TBD the first week of class.
