Description
This course explores how physical geography/environments impact urban development and how urban development in turn influences physical environments. The course applies earth systems science to urban geography issues. Students explore the interrelation of both, dynamic physical environments and urban settings. Cities across the globe and Salt Lake City are used to illustrate the interrelatedness of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and anthrosphere.
