Course Description:
This course asks why the natural environment looks and acts the way it does and addresses the interrelationships between climate, soils, water, landforms, and the biosphere. The emphasis of the course is on natural processes with some discussion of how humans interact with their surroundings. Exercises from a lab manual written specifically for this course provide hands-on experiences through inquiry-based learning and GIS. Offered every semester.
