SUSTAIN 101C: Climate 101

This course provides an introduction to Earth's climate system, including how climate has changed in the past, how it is changing now, and how it could change in the future. Topics include quantifying signal-to-noise ratio for detecting long-term change in climate variables; calculating Earth's energy balance; calculating sources and sinks of carbon; understanding the history of climate variations and changes over Earth's history; quantifying the contribution of different greenhouse gases and human activities to historical and future climate change; understanding extreme weather events in the past, present and future, and quantifying the time to different global warming thresholds given different socio-economic scenarios. Students will be asked to engage in analysis of climate datasets to understand climate processes and climate change. No prerequisites.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: WAY-AQR

SUSTAIN 119: Living Laboratory for Sustainability at Stanford (SUSTAIN 219)

Living Laboratory for Sustainability at Stanford immerses participants in the practical application of sustainability principles within Stanford's operations, infrastructure and utility systems. Through hands-on, experiential learning, students will explore how the university operates at a city scale to sustain modern life while addressing real-world sustainability challenges. By critically analyzing these systems and engaging with diverse sustainability topics, students will develop key skills to contribute meaningfully to sustainability transitions, both on campus and beyond. The course connects operational systems to local and regional resources, preparing students for purposeful impact by expanding their understanding of rapid shifts towards sustainable solutions. By the end of the course, students will have developed foundational knowledge of life-sustaining services (energy, water, waste, land, buildings, food and purchasing) and the opportunities and constraints of advancing a s more »

SUSTAIN 376: Startup Garage: Design (BIOE 376)

Startup Garage is an intensive, hands-on, project-based course where students apply human-centric design, lean startup methodology, and the Business Model Canvas to conceive, design, and field-test new business concepts that address real world needs. Teams get out of the building and interact directly with users, industry participants, and advisors to deeply understand one or more unmet customer needs. They proceed to design, prototype, and test their proposed products or services and a business model. Teams working on impact-focused ventures will apply the same methodology to address the needs of their beneficiaries. Students develop entrepreneurial skills as they learn critical, cutting-edge techniques about launching a venture. The course is offered by the Graduate School of Business. PREREQUISITE: Team application required. See details and apply at http://startupgarage.stanford.edu/details (login required).
