Global Change Biology
Prerequisite(s): None
Credits: 4 cr. hrs. (6 pds: 3 lec.,
3 lab)
Programs: All
GenEd: AGEC/Lab-Sci, AAS(Critical
Thinking), AGEC/I*
Global change biology is a new field
of biology which explores the
consequences of global environmental
change on humans and ecosystems.
This course focuses on climate
change as a key driver of
environmental change. Climate change
is addressed by exploring causes of
past and current climate change
while providing a strong contextual
setting for Native American students
based on their own culture and
traditional ecological knowledge.
Impacts of climate change on humans
and ecosystems are covered from a
holistic and interdisciplinary
perspective with an emphasis on
understanding the interconnectedness
of biotic and physical systems.
Students will learn about and
compare traditional knowledge with
western science understanding of
climate processes and effects. This
course will explore mitigation and
adaptation strategies for climate
change impacts
and will include an opportunity for
students to develop ideas on how
Native American Nations can respond
to a future of changing climate.
