Course purpose

Never before have had humans such a profound impact on the environment. The world population exceeds 7 billion
and is growing steadily. Industrial and technological needs for energy and mineral resources are increasing everyyear. This course aims to review and discuss how humanity is changing the environment. More specifically, thecourse examines how human activities alter major biogeochemical cycles, and explores past climate change and therelationships between human activities and climate today. Students also learn about the nature and usefulness ofgeological resources and the environmental threats posed by their extraction and exploitation. The course not onlyaims to develop a scientific knowledge of important environmental issues, but also to promote the critical evaluationof information sources and the exchange of opinions in class.
