This course examines the complex physical relations between land, sea and atmosphere. It also explores how some actions of our modern civilization disrupt the environment. Topics include geologic hazards, land management, water resources, hazardous waste disposal, energy resources, mineral resources...

This course is an introduction to the science of the solar system. Topics include: the Sun, the planets and their moons, meteors, asteroids and comets. The current theory of the origin and evolution of the solar system and the observations that led to the development of this theory are discussed. Th...

This course is an introduction to the science of the stars, the structures they form and the large-scale structure and evolution of the universe. Topics include current theories about: the properties of stars, the Sun as a star, stellar evolution (including the formation of black holes), multiple st...
