Course Description
Technological and societal evolution have changed both our environment and the way we interact with our environment in important ways. The field of geohealth, which operates at the intersection of the earth and health sciences, studies how these changes affect our ability to maintain human health. In this course, we will cover a few of the most pressing questions tackled by geohealth, including how changes in water, food, and air quality may affect human health, and what the far-reaching health implications of climate change may be. Class will consist of lectures, punctuated with questions and discussion opportunities to check and reinforce learning. There will be optional readings and supplemental class materials available on a course website. No prior knowledge of the earth or health sciences is required. | Lecture + Q&A.Loading...
