GEO 528 - Sustainable Systems and the Spatial Economy Credits: 3


Focuses on the quantitative and qualitative examination of a range of perspectives relating to sustainable interrelationships between human, economic, and environmental systems across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. The dynamics of environmental/ecological valuation and sustainability are explored via broadly based economic perspectives using both conceptual and analytical frameworks. The course uses a geographic approach to examine the interlinkages between the ideas of sustainable communities and ecosystems. Significant emphasis is placed on student discussion, research, analysis, and presentations. Previous coursework in introductory macroeconomics, microeconomics and quantitative analysis would be useful but is not required. Basic proficiency in word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software is expected.
