This course focuses on the natural science aspects of climate change with emphasis on historic times. The course takes a journey from ancient times through to the present describing periods when the climate was strikingly different than it is today and revealing the mechanisms and feedback that govern the climate system...

Study Tours: Iceland, Denmark

Disciplines: Biology, Environmental Science, Geology

Pre-requisites: Yes

This course works much like an incubator program. It is aimed at students interested in learning the tools and skills required to succeed as entrepreneurs — and in applying these tools in a real-life project. You work in teams (expect a fair amount of group work!) on your own startup.

Study Tours: Greenland, Denmark

Disciplines: Biology, Environmental Science, Geology, Sustainability

Pre-requisites: Yes

In this course, gain an understanding of biology of the polar areas, with a special emphasis on the Northern Hemisphere. Learn how organisms of the Polar Regions are evolutionarily adapted to cold terrestrial or marine habitats with strong seasonality. By studying theoretical and practical case studies, gain insight into population dynamics and species richness within Denmark, and of the Arctic regions in Iceland and Norway.
