Summer Semester International Academy Module Sustainability and Earth Resources LSF No. 10798

This course is designed to guide students through modern concepts of sustainability and provide an introduction to the natural resources that we depend upon. The course will start with an exploration into the concept of sustainability (now perhaps the most overused term in the world). Different models of sustainability will be explored in class and through projects. Climate change, perhaps the biggest failing of sustainability, will be given particular focus. We will then gain perspective on different types of earth resources, and how we can manage these sustainably, in class and through projects.

Students will meet 10 times throughout the semester for interactive online classes and discussions, including time for presentations and a quiz.
