Environmental Systems: The Human Footprint (EESC 2201)

Earth and Environmental Sciences · Boston College

Humans have become an increasingly significant force on Earth system, including the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. This course explores the influence of humans on natural systems and how environmental solutions and consequences link to social, political, economic, health, and justice issues. Specifically, we will discuss topics related to population growth, energy, agriculture, urbanization, and environmental justice. This course is part of the Environmental Systems introductory sequence (EESC2201-EESC2208) for Environmental Geoscience majors.
