EARS 9 Earth Resources
The over-arching goal of this course is to make students-many of them future leaders in their fields-keenly aware of how the foundation and progress of society are based on the utilization of the earth resources. The fact that such resources are finite and unevenly distributed around the globe has been a major driver for not only human exploration and innovation but also wars. Also, the exploitation of earth resources has profoundly altered the earth's natural geochemical cycles with ramifications to our health, security, economy and well-being. We will discuss these issues along with the origin of Earth resources.
