This course considers the interrelationships among biophysical systems, society and culture, different places and peoples, diversity and justice, politics and political economy, and individual and group action, as it focuses on four current issues related to water: freshwater sustainability and development, bottled and tap drinking water, marine fisheries, and the Connecticut River. One third of the grade is student-led action projects to advance water sustainability. You will reflect on these experiences in relation to your university and life experiences and goals.

This course addresses the challenges faced by 21st century cities as the world?s population becomes increasingly urbanized. These challenges are grouped in five themes: water, land, air, built environment and community. The course takes an integrative, geographical, case-study based approach in its exploration of the linkages between these issues and the physical, social, cultural, economic and political aspects of today?s rapidly changing cities.

This course provides introductory exposure to the basic cartography skills used for digital map making, primarily using ArcGIS Pro and Adobe Illustrator to map physical environments as well as 3D scenes. Course learning goals include a fundamental understanding of map composure, as well as map elements such as north arrows, scale bars, and legends. General best practices for data management such as zipping and unzipping file archives and geodatabases will also be covered.
