This team-taught seminar class will provide a forum to examine the broad range of approaches being used by scientists to address human-environment, coupled systems, and the integration of social and natural sciences in environmental research.
We will look at what urgent questions are driving research at this time and in the past, and how a range of teams are approaching the challenge of coupling the natural and social systems to address issues such as global change, climate change, food security, land use/cover, and sustainability.
