This course will help undergraduate students develop the tools to integrate interdisciplinary information, solve problems, and think critically about topics related to global change. By the end of the course, students will be able to compare and contrast the major drivers of historical, present, and future global change; explain how global change affects individuals, species, populations, communities, and ecosystems across space and time; communicate to a general audience how global ecological change affects human well-being; and apply their knowledge to critically evaluate management practices and policies for preventing and mitigating global ecological change. Throughout this course, students will also advance their abilities to find and evaluate scientific evidence, interpret figures, analyze models and data, collaborate with peers, and communicate ideas and scientific results
