GEOS 101 1EV - All About Water

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

All About Water explores water. Water is everywhere: in our bodies, in our food, in our atmosphere and underfoot. We can’t live without it! And because we can’t live without it, we fight about it, we write legislation regarding it, we try to steal it from each other, and we have turned it into big business. Unfortunately, we have also polluted it and wasted it with little regard to its value to us as individuals and the biosphere as a whole. This course will challenge students to explore and to critically reflect upon their personal values, beliefs, and worldviews in the context of decision making. It utilizes an inquiry-based approach to investigate how we use and abuse water, the importance of informed decision making, and our personal responsibly to our world. Cross-listed NATS101
