You will examine the role of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing in Aboriginal/Indigenous societies and learn how to make use of this knowledge in your planning for the classroom, school and community.
Geographical ecology emphasizing contemporary species distributions at local to global spatial scales, population and community dynamics, and human impacts. Labs emphasize collecting data (sometimes outdoors) and interpreting results.
Energy and water in the Earth-Atmosphere system, global climates and climate change, ecosystem properties and processes, human impacts. Please consult the Faculty of Science Credit Exclusion Lists: www.students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=12,215,410,414.
Earth observation and geospatial technologies for monitoring climate change, environmental impacts, and urban resilience. Remote sensing, satellite data, and spatial analysis for climate adaptation, mitigation, sustainability, and informing policy and decision-making. Prerequisite: CONS_V 127 or NRES_V 241.
Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of public policies and corporate strategies using statistical evaluation methods, cost benefit analysis, and other modelling tools, with a focus on the impacts of climate change on operations and vice versa. Industries including service provision, manufacturing, and infrastructure investment are assessed based on pricing, operating costs, emissions, and other environmental and societal impacts. Prerequisite: COMM_V 204.
Physical and biological characteristics of the circumpolar Arctic, emphasizing terrestrial environments and the impacts on and by humans, including: glacial history; climatology; biogeography/ecology of arctic tundra; human-environment interactions, settlement and exploration; and current environmental, social and economic problems.
Properties and composition of natural waters, including gas and solid equilibria, pH and acidification, redox chemistry, complexation, corrosion, ion exchange, colloids and microbial transformations. [3-0-0] Prerequisite: One of CHEM 123, CHEM 130, CHBE 220. and Third year standing.
