Humans have become an increasingly significant force on Earth system, including the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere.

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.
