Geoscience for the Common Good
Students will collaborate with community partners in applying Earth science approaches to real-world problems, learning firsthand how geologic information can improve decision-making affecting humans and the environment. Topics and partners will generally have a local or regional footprint, coupled with broader implications. The course will be jointly guided by a faculty member and the community partner. Student work will involve reading and discussion; the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; collaboration with community partners; and consultation with additional outside experts. The course will culminate in a public presentation, as well as the preparation of written reports or other outreach materials. (GEOL 0201 and 0202) 3 hrs. lect. 3 hrs. lab.
