Welcome to Environmental Systems and Societies
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to how scientists explore the interactions between humans and their environment and how those interactions affect society.. It is my goal to give you the tools which will allow you to explore these concepts yourself. To help facilitate the process, we have organized the course into several units. You may click on the unit below to go to the correct page or you can use the drop down menu under the "Environmental Systems and Societies" tab. The following is a list of units (in order) we will explore in class. Below the unit section you will find links to tools you may find helpful for the course.
