LARTS 449 Climate Change Adaptation

Under climate change, environmental resource management must accept new paradigms for continued delivery of the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. The strategies that worked in the past to manage natural resources may not work in the future. This course will explore adaptive strategies that come with economic, philosophical, and ethical tradeoffs. We will discuss these tradeoffs both quantitatively and qualitatively while providing a solid introduction to climate change through the lens of environmental science.
