EAS 1101 - Climate and Energy: a 21st Century Earth Science Perspective


(OPHLS-AG, PBS-AS) (CU-SBY)     
Fall. 3 credits. Student option grading.

T. Ault, M. Pritchard.

Most people alive today will face unprecedented challenges and opportunities at the intersection of climate change and global energy demand. These two issues are inexorably linked to each other, and to virtually all global health and development "grand challenges." Fundamentally, this course asks how we humans, as a species, found our way in to the current bottleneck of climate and energy challenges, and how we, as a society, might find solutions that guarantee future generations can enjoy a stable climate, a secure and nutritious food supply, and access to clean energy. Students learn the fundamental background that they will need to be an informed citizen on these timely and extremely important issues.
