EARTH 1C: Know Your Planet: Science Outside

One of the most important ways to learn about the world is to go out and explore it. Over the course of two day-long field trips during the weekend of May 13 & 14, students will learn and implement hands-on skills for conducting research "in the field," that is, outdoors in the natural environment. No previous field-work experience necessary. By focusing on the local geology, geomorphology, soils, ecology, and marine biology surrounding the Stanford campus, we will use careful observation, standard methods for data collecting, and analytical tools to answer fundamental questions about earth and ecosystem function. Along the way, we will also practice basic skills, from hiking to critical thinking, essential for conducting science outside of the controlled environment of the lab. This class is all about learning by doing, so be prepared to get your hands dirty and your feet wet while enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. In addition to the field weekend (May 13/14), this class also includes three mandatory evening meetings: a planning meeting (April 12), an overview and logistics meeting (May 10), and a report-out post-meeting (May 24). 100% Attendance at all meetings is required, no exceptions. Enrollment is limited to 20 students; preference given to freshmen and sophomores; to receive a course registration code, students must complete this form: http://web.stanford.edu/~rypett/EARTH_1C.fb

EARTH 10: Losing California: Design in the age of Climate Change

How will climate change impact the iconic view from the Golden Gate Bridge in 2025, 2050, 2100? Does an emotional attachment to a place motivate meaningful change to preserve it? How can visual or audio stories diminish the spatial and temporal remoteness of global change? During our weekend course we will learn about the science of global change and the ways in which the view from the Golden Gate Bridge may look dramatically different in the future as a result of changing temperatures and rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, shifts in flora and fauna, and decisions about the built environment.  The course will consist of a weekend activity based at the Golden Gate Bridge on April 8 and 9th, followed by two follow-up meetings on campus on April 14 and April 28th. The course will be co-taught by faculty from the School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences and the d.school. Apply by March 10. You can read more about the course and apply here: http://dschool.stanford.edu/losing-california/.

EARTH 126Z: Hard Earth: Stanford Graduate-Student Talks Exploring Tough Environmental Dilemmas (CEE 126Z)

Stanford's graduate students are a trove of knowledge -- and, just as important, curiosity -- about environmental sustainability. This seminar will feature talks by graduate students that explore the biggest, most bedeviling questions about environmental sustainability locally and around the world. The course will be structured as follows: every other week, we will hear hour-long graduate student talks about sustainability questions and their research, and on the off weeks, we will discuss the unanswered, debatable questions that relate to the previous week's talk.
