OCEAN 161 Fall 2023. Introduction to Environmental Monitoring and Technology. Come learn about the exciting tools and technologies used to study our changing oceans and environment!

What hands on experience with marine organisms did April Morrow, GEODUC scholar and UW transfer student, have whilst at Friday Harbor Labs? Find out in our next student takeover.
Thank you for tuning in and watching my Instagram takeover for the GEODUC program!!
Here are some highlights from the GEODUC program – we got hands on with marine organisms by observing and doing a small project and oceanographic applications like niskin bottles and water sampling, looking for diatoms, building sensors. 

We still have space open in the following two, 5-credit ENVIR 497 Environmental Studies Seminars – contemporary topics that may intersect with the academic and career goals of students in many majors!

This class is taught by Jonathan Peyton, 2022-23 Fulbright Canada Visiting Chair in Arctic Studies. It will be built around a series of 5-6 invited lectures by colleagues who will speak on the question of “how do different disciplines understand Arctic environments?” We will hear from a wide range of perspectives on Arctic environments including social scientists, colleagues in the environmental humanities, art historians, environmental field scientists, policy and governance experts, and those working closely with communities.

The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) is accepting applications for three summer courses scheduled for 2023. This popular suite of university-level summer courses, designed to immerse an international cohort of students in an intensive 3-week program of coursework and research that is unique in marine science education. Founded in 1903, BIOS is a world-class ocean science research and education facility. These courses, listed below, provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to expand their studies into subtropical environments and/or to investigate topics in ocean science, which are not offered within the curricula of their home institutions. BIOS has quick and easy access to a diverse array of subtropical marine habitats and ocean locations which, combined with lectures, discussions and integrated field work and laboratory exercises, provide an optimal environment for experiential learning.

The Canadian Studies Center has a bunch of exciting Arctic-focused courses on offer for Spring 2023! Each course listed below counts towards the interdisciplinary Arctic Studies Minor.

I am very excited to offer my Climate Governance (ENVIR/SMEA201) course this spring. Solving the problems of climate change requires that individuals like you and me, communities, firms, NGOs, and governments change what we currently do. But unfortunately, most people and organizations are reluctant to change, especially when such changes impose costs. So, how can we then avert the climate crisis? And, how do we pay for climate action so that we do not harm disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities?
