Rebecca E. Hewitt (Section 01)
This course examines the causes of climate change and impacts on the biosphere from a social-ecological perspective. We explore the biophysical factors contributing to changes in climate, utilize resilience theory to understand impacts of and responses to climate change, and evaluate mitigation and adaptation strategies. Through lecture, discussion, and project work we will assess evidence and advances made within the scientific community, and emphasize the importance of stakeholders and complementary knowledge systems to our understanding of anthropogenic climate change and potential solutions. This course will draw on current scientific reports like the IPCC and the National Climate assessment and practice science communication skills.
