Course Introduction

Dive into the fascinating connections between geology, engineering, and sustainability. Explore core Earth processes like plate tectonics, material cycles, landslides, and floods, alongside the resources we depend on—minerals, energy, and more. Through hands-on projects, you’ll analyze data, create models, and solve real-world challenges. Design risk maps for NC flood zones, assess soil for development, and map the materials and energy behind everyday products. Get ready to tackle Earth’s dynamic problems and make an impact.
