Course Description

Dive into the wonders of natural systems and learn how organisms, soil, water, and air work together to sustain life on Earth as we know it. Here you'll adopt a systems thinking (holistic) perspective to learn how human activities - from burning fossil fuels to growing food and using too much water - disrupt Earth's interconnected and delicate natural systems. Might humans push Earth's systems past their tipping points, or can solutions such as sustainable system management practices together with Earth's natural resilience ensure a flourishing future? Find out as you cultivate your critical thinking and quantitative reasoning skills in this course.
