• GEOL 1310: Water-Energy-Climate Nexus

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Among the grand challenges facing humanity, arguably the most significant are water, energy, and climate. These issues are, however not isolated but intimately connected, i.e. water-energy-climate (WEC) nexus. using critical thinking and problem-solving skills, the significance of the WEC nexus to humanity will be explored from STEM and non-STEM perspectives. Cross listed with ERS 1310.

• GEOL 1320: Global Sustainability: Managin

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Uses biology, chemistry, physics and Earth science to examine Global Sustainability and how this worldview might guide our future management of Earth resources. Case studies in different international settings place questions of resource exploitation (discovery, extraction, processing, use and disposal) and sustainability in a larger global context.

• GEOL 1330: Water, Dirt and Climate

  4.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Introductory environmental geology course focusing on water and soil both as hazards and as life-sustaining resources. Explores surface processes and climate change over geological and human timescales. Case studies illustrate the environmental tradeoffs of resource use. Cross listed with ENR 1330. Prerequisite: none.
