GEOG 8 Life in the Anthropocene

Most scientists believe we now live in The Anthropocene, a period defined by the unprecedented influence of human activity on the Earth and its ecosystems. This course will investigate the phyiscal and ecological consequences of the Anthropocene. We will examine the global impacts of climate change and land-use change to better understand the future feedbacks between climate, ecosystems, and human societies.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
