EARTHSYS 145: Environmental Crises and Historical Change
The history of North America has contained a series of environmental crises brought about by human actions. This course examines the so-called Columbian Exchange that led to the depopulation of the Western Hemisphere; the long crisis on the Great Plains including the near extermination of bison and the Dust Bowl, and the current crisis of global warming. The goal is to understand not only how human actions have transformed the North American environment, but also how the crises these changes provoke have influenced human society. Too often a sophisticated analysis of environmental change has been placed alongside a crude analysis of social change.
