Description
The graduate minor will instruct students in theories and methods that combine the physical and social sciences on human dimensions of global environmental change (HDGEC). The curriculum will familiarize students with (1) understanding the history and concerns of human dimensions of global change research; (2) core theoretical dimensions of the study of coupled natural-human systems; and (3) fundamental methodological tools for human-environment research. Students will be expected to become familiar with GIS and/or remote sensing as tools in the analysis of global environmental change through both formal courses and hands-on apprenticeship as part of team research projects.
