This course allows students to explore areas of the world that have unique geological and biological features, and showcase examples of environmentally relevant technologies and issues. Students are typically asked to prepare background material prior to the 1-2 week field trip. On the trip students participate in field exercises and present material to the class on the key features. Evaluation is based on field notes, completion of exercises, quizzes, and post trip reports. Field trip destinations differ from year to year, and have included Costa Rica, Arizona, the Rocky Mountains and the island of Dominica.
