GEOG3423

Most of us live in cities and thus in urban-modified climates. In this course you’ll learn how and why cities can affect their immediate – and possibly regional and global – environments. You’ll also get experience with urban climate research via a project we will develop together as a class. You’ll draw on public documents and research papers, collect and analyze data, and collaborate with your colleagues (and your instructor) to bring the project to completion. The research and problem-solving skills you develop or refine in this course are ones you can draw on in your other courses and in your post-graduate career.
