GEOG 086 - Losing Ground: Examining the Drivers and Consequences of Land Change since the Nineteenth Century

Type of Course: First Year Seminar
How do land use decisions made one hundred years ago and today impact the habitability of our planet? This seminar introduces the topic of land change science to students interested in environmental sustainability, wildlife conservation and forest management. The theories of why humans alter their landscapes and how they alter natural landscapes will be presented using case studies and field trips. Analytic tools for mapping land change will be presented in concert with satellite data that are used to detect change over large, inaccessible areas.
