Wed, Sep 05, 2007
 
This course will provide students with a greater understanding of the complexity of important concepts and issues related to the land and environment of the North. The course deals with the impacts of natural and physical change on the peoples and conditions of the Circumpolar North. The course concentrates on three major fields for scientific study: (1) climate change, (2) natural resources, and (3) health and environment. Emphasis is given to the challenges of sustainability in the North, and to the need for long-term proper stewardship.

Upon successful completion of Land and Environment II, students will have:
  • Foundations for critical inquiry and appreciation of how diverse conventional and traditional methods contribute to understanding land and environment in the Circumpolar North.
  • Insight into the challenges presented by the physical and natural universe, and the impact on Northern peoples.
  • Awareness of the relationship between science and policy, and its significance for the future of the Circumpolar North.
