Welcome to GEOG 30N, Environment and Society in a Changing World!
GEOG 30N introduces the theory, methods, history, and contemporary issues in global and regional relationships between human activities and the physical environment.
This course examines sustainability and human-environment interactions from a geographic perspective. Students examine both the influence of humanity on the environment and the influence of the environment on humanity, with attention to the sustainability of current human activities. They take a complex systems perspective on major environmental and societal challenges and examine linked human-environment issues in a variety of contexts. Each module contains readings, links, and explanations of the basic principles related to sustainability and human-environment systems.
