In this course, students take advantage of the breadth of their shared experiences in the Geosciences Department from human dimensions to physical sciences, drawing from geography, earth systems science and geology. The platform of the course uses real-world Geoscience problems facing societies and cultures, incorporating the themes of Water, Air, Energy, Climate and Sustainability. Using readings, print and on-line media, students are encouraged to work through the ways in which integration of their diverse educational experiences leads to new levels of understanding.

This course, relevant to majors in Geology, Geography, Environmental Science, Natural Resource Conservation, and Civil and Environmental Engineering, explores the functioning and dynamics of sedimentary systems in river, lake, glacial, coastal, and ocean environments, and how these systems respond to natural and human induced disturbances. Students will be introduced to the principles governing the erosion and transport of sediment and the interpretation of sedimentary archives in terms of past climates, environmental conditions, and human activity.
