GES 440: Sea Level Rise and a Sustainable Future
GES 440, offered by the School of Global Environmental Sustainability at Colorado State University, is an upper-division interdisciplinary course exploring sea level rise and a sustainable future across multiple disciplines. The course is centered around three modules: 1) scientific basis of sea level rise and foundations of policy, 2) case studies exploring details of geography, culture, environmental justice, and economics; and 3) developing capacity in futures thinking and how to apply that to understanding sea level rise in the future. This course is targeted at students from a variety of backgrounds and open to all majors, and requires synthetic thinking rather than specific capabilities. Prerequisites include completion of AUCC categories 1A and 1B. For more information email the course instructor at [email protected].
