New Zealand’s Diverse Environments (GST 266IS): Information Session
Please join us as we discuss the New Zealand’s Diverse Environments 2009 Winter Term course.
This interdisciplinary course will examine the varied environments of this unique island nation and with a critical eye examine its natural wonders, the science behind their creation and ask students to ponder questions regarding the sustainability of this country’s natural resources.
We will walk on glaciers, hike on a growing mountain range, boat on raging rivers, tranquil bays and geologically unique fjords, trek through pristine rainforests and mountain passes, discover stunning waterfalls, study two greatly variant coastlines, and compare manmade and natural lakes and rivers along the way. All these activities will be done with a focus on understanding the special niche each has in the overall environment, Maori’s Papa, the Earth Mother.
An Information Session will be held Thursday, April 3 at 4:00pm in McMichael 115. We are excited about this course and think you will be also.
