CEE 224X: Global Urban Development Program
A year-long Project-Based Learning course on sustainable urban systems, in collaboration with Sechuan University, Chengdu, China. Students will form multidisciplinary teams of 8-10 and be assigned to study one of two cities: Chengdu, CN and San Jose, CA. Teams will work closely with city partners including municipal officials, industry leaders, community groups, and local academics. First phase conducing research using geospatial data analysis of key performance indicators, second and third phases to address target goals identified in phase one. Teams will propose innovative plans, policies and/or programs for urban development to meet goals. Three quarter commitment preferred, two quarter commitment required. Enrollment limited to ten Stanford students by application. Preference to CEE graduate students within CEE (SDC) and from other departments, upperclass undergraduate applications accepted.

EARTHSYS 154: Intermediate Writing: Communicating Climate Change: Navigating the Stories from the Frontlines (PWR 91EP)
In the next two decades floods, droughts and famine caused by climate change will displace more than 250 million people around the world. In this course students will develop an increased understanding of how different stakeholders including scientists, aid organizations, locals, policy makers, activists, and media professionals communicate the climate change crisis. They will select a site experiencing the devastating effects and research the voices telling the stories of those sites and the audiences who are (or are not) listening. Students might want to investigate drought-ridden areas such as the Central Valley of California or Darfur, Sudan; Alpine glaciers melting in the Alps or in Alaska; the increasingly flooded Pacific islands; the hurricane ravaged Gulf Coast, among many others. Data from various stakeholders will be analyzed and synthesized for a magazine length article designed to bring attention to a region and/or issue that has previously been neglected. Students will write and submit their article for publication.nnFor students who have completed the first two levels of the writing requirement and want further work in developing writing abilities, especially within discipline-specific contexts and nonfiction genres. Individual conferences with instructor and peer workshops. Prerequisite: first two levels of the writing requirement or equivalent transfer credit. For more information, see
