issues. A key objective of the course is to demonstrate the
interconnectedness of the earth
system. A second objective is to

global-change issues. A third objective is to engage students in dialog
among themselves and with outside experts on the economic, social,
political, and ethical implications of these changes and finally, we will learn to use higher-level critical
