3 credits 45.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course

This course explores how the earth sciences – astronomy, geology, oceanography, and meteorology, for example – can help us understand our physical world. We will unpack key scientific principles to analyze what issues like climate change reveal about various scientific approaches. We will take a project-based approach to examining the scientific method and its relationships to earth science principles.

Requires enrollment in an undergraduate degree program.
