GEOS 105 1V - Natural Hazards; Human Disasters

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course introduces students to the scientific study of the causes of natural hazards, and an interdisciplinary approach to how individuals and the public respond to natural disasters caused by those hazards. Students will discuss issues related to floods, hurricanes, other severe weather, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. While grappling with real-world concerns, this course enables students to discover connections between natural hazards with what they are learning about the needs of the world, in their liberal arts and sciences education, from culture and the news and through their own collaborative efforts towards making the world a better place.


Prerequisite(s): This course is for first semester freshmen or freshmen transfer students.
