How are the cities of the world adapting to or planning to adapt to climate change? This course focuses on urban areas and the environment, specifically how anthropogenic factors have impacted the environment and how the environment has responded. The aim is to discover how associated and concomitant problems owing to the development and use of the planets resources are created and the various approaches to reduce the negative impacts of these problems through a variety of approaches.
GEOG130: Development Geography: Environmental & Social Justice (Scholarship in Practice Gen Ed!)
Prof. Ipsita Kumar
The geography of economic, social, and environmental well-being and inequality. The course will provide an integrated perspective on the causes, interconnections, and consequences across time and space of, among others, globalization, climate change, poverty, employment, migration and urban growth, agricultural productivity, rural development, policies and international trade. Portraits of selected countries and regions will be developed.
GEOG340: Geomorphology
Dr. Keith Yearwood

ABoVE Stakeholder Engagement and Research Needs -- Virtual
The area that lies within the ABoVE study domain is home to a number of ethnically and culturally distinct Indigenous and non-Indigenous people that have unique and significant political relationships with tribal, state, territorial and federal governments. The region contains important natural resources of economic, cultural, and aesthetic value, which provide a wide range of ecosystem services at local, regional, national, and international scales. Decision-makers and land managers at all levels recognize that improved scientific knowledge on the impacts of climate and environmental change, and an understanding of how society is responding to these changes, is imperative to inform the development of sound policies and management strategies. The ABoVE campaign seeks a highly motivated and organized individual working towards a bachelors or graduate degree in one of the following fields: environmental/earth science, anthropology, Indigenous studies, circumpolar studies, or environmental studies. The intern will conduct an evaluation of ABoVE science projects within the context of other research and monitoring activities to identify relevant existing and new stakeholders for ABoVE products. At the same time, the intern will assess stakeholder needs and data gaps that could potentially be filled by future ABoVE research activities. The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and familiarity with issues surrounding knowledge co-production, decolonizing science, social networks, and stakeholder engagement.
ABoVE Airborne Campaign Data Fusion -- Virtual
Over the past three years, the ABoVE Airborne Campaign (AAC) surveyed over 4 million km2 in Alaska and northwestern Canada with instruments aboard multiple aircraft. The science strategy included coupling domain-wide sampling with L-band and P-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR), imaging spectroscopy (AVIRIS-NG), full waveform lidar (LVIS) and atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane (ArcticCAP) with more spatially and temporally focused studies using Ka-band SAR and solar induced chlorophyll fluorescence (CFIS). Additional measurements were coordinated with the NEON Airborne Observing Platform, the ASCENDS instrument development suite, the ATOM EV-S2 investigation, and G-LiHT (Goddard's LiDAR, Hyperspectral & Thermal Imager).
