Place Based Learning
Teaching adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking
Hydrology
Uncover the hydrologic cycle and ourrole in it. In this course students learn about sustainable water resource management and the threats of over use, pollution and climate change. Hydrologic science is highly interdisciplinary, and this course brings together geology, environmental In this course, students learn about sustainable water resource management and the threats of overuse, pollution, and climate change science, and engineering.
Applied Environmental Geochemsitry
This course examines the chemical processes that govern the behavior of elements and compounds in natural and human-impacted environments. Students will explore how geochemical principles can be applied to understand and solve real-world environmental problems involving soil, water, and atmospheric systems. Topics include water-rock interactions, redox chemistry, acid-base equilibria, contaminant transport, isotopic tracers, and the geochemical cycling of nutrients and pollutants.
Research Design
Discover your own path to research. In this course, we explore the field of scientific investigation. Students design their own research proposal ove the semester and leave with the toools to engauge in research. Students design their own research proposal over the semester and leave with the tools to engage in research.
