Course Description

This lecture course will provide a broad overview of how sleep/wake rhythms factor into everyday cycles of behavior and physiology, underpinned by the larger solar and weather cycles that prevail in terrestrial, coastal, and oceanic environments. In these areas, I will build towards, among other select topics: (1) how climate change is fostering the loss or invasion of different species across the Northern hemisphere owing to the animals occupying new temporal niches they hadn't before global warming, and (2) the mental and physical health consequences of the built environment pertaining to its sequestration of people from sunlight (the ultimate time bearer).
