ONLINE: This four-session course will explore the complex web of life along the world's shorelines. With nearly 40% of the global population living within 100 kilometers of coastlines, the course will emphasize the critical connection between human communities and coastal regions amid ongoing environmental changes. We will uncover the significance of coastal ecosystems, particularly focusing on blue carbon sequestration, beach ecology and the interconnectedness of coastal habitats. Students will also learn about some of the technology being used today to explore the ocean, and the challenges faced in understanding this part of the planet. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these elements play crucial roles in sustaining life on our planet. | Lecture + Q&A.
