ENV 100 Global Green Initiative
This intensive course explores various aspects of rivers, lakes, and groundwater. It provides an introduction to the distinct ecology of these three freshwater systems, their human uses, different approaches to their conservation, and possibilities for restoration of degraded systems. Course material will be presented and studied through a combination of lectures, case-studies analyses, and group activities. Additionally, several short field trips to local points of interest, along with a week-end trip to the Lago Ritom and Lago Cadagno, will provide students with numerous opportunities to connect class material with their everyday experience.
