ENVRES 220: The Social Ocean: Human Dimensions of Coastal and Marine Ecosystems
This interdisciplinary seminar examines human dimensions of current ocean issues through a series of readings, discussions, and guest lecturer presentations. Through the lenses offered by multiple disciplines and fields, we will examine and reinterpret the challenges of fisheries management, climate change, conservation/restoration, and human rights. We will welcome specialists in industry, academia, law, and the nonprofit sector to discuss theories of change for ocean issues, with a particular emphasis on marine justice. We invite students to create and share their own "Social Ocean Project" synthesizing course themes and personal reflections.

ENVRES 260: Implementing & Financing a Decarbonized Economy
In the forthcoming decades, the transition to a global low-carbon economy will require tens of trillions of dollars worth of capital investment. Much of that capital investment will directed towards new builds, or retrofits, of major capital projects, whether using technologies that are commercial today or new technologies. This course aims to give students a very practical and detailed introduction to the opportunities and challenges of developing and financing large-scale low-carbon capital projects, such as grid solar, on-shore wind, off-shore wind, geothermal, grid storage (battery, pumped storage, hydrogen, gravity or other), biomass power, hydropower, nuclear, carbon capture and storage, direct air capture (DAC), biofuels, hydrogen and ammonia (of any 'color' that is low carbon), industrial low-carbon heat (including heat storage) and industrial decarbonization generally. Each of the instructors has decades of hands-on experience in developing and financing major capital projects

In the forthcoming decades, the transition to a global low-carbon economy will require tens of trillions of dollars worth of capital investment. Much of that capital investment will directed towards new builds, or retrofits, of major capital projects, whether using technologies that are commercial today or new technologies. This course aims to give students a very practical and detailed introduction to the opportunities and challenges of developing and financing large-scale low-carbon capital projects, such as grid solar, on-shore wind, off-shore wind, geothermal, grid storage (battery, pumped storage, hydrogen, gravity or other), biomass power, hydropower, nuclear, carbon capture and storage, direct air capture (DAC), biofuels, hydrogen and ammonia (of any 'color' that is low carbon), industrial low-carbon heat (including heat storage) and industrial decarbonization generally. Each of the instructors has decades of hands-on experience in developing and financing major capital projects. The process of developing and financing major capital projects is inherently very multidisciplinary--including engineering, business, finance, legal, tax and (often) international relations principles. The course will start at a high level, covering the emissions landscape, policy framework, markets, and main technologies. Then we will dive much deeper into such key tasks as permitting; engineering and resource studies; project pro forma models; successfully negotiating project construction contracts and output sales contracts; arranging the financial terms and legal provisions of bank or bond debt financing; maximizing returns to equity; and monetizing tax and other governmental incentives. Students should be eager to engage in a multi-disciplinary approach both in terms of how to think about the subject matter and in terms of interacting with fellow students who bring a different academic and or work experience than their own. The instructors do not require prior coursework in finance. Basic background materials and additional tutorials will be provided as needed, to bring students up to the technical level required to do the coursework successfully. In order to be considered for enrollment, please complete the Consent of Program Form: Application Link
https://forms.gle/A33BLJvsBQkDLNeJ9 by December 2, 2024. Successful applicants will be notified when permission has been granted and will receive a permission number to register for the course in Axess by December 13, 2024. Forms received after the deadline will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the class is full; however, in prior years the class has consistently been oversubscribed so students should apply timely.
ENVRES 260 is capped at 25 students. Some priority will be given to E-IPER graduate students. The course Syllabus can be viewed here:
