Catalog Description:

Starting with a survey of different forms and types of energy and material (focus on those needed for computer components, mobile phones and solar panels) resource and their geographical distribution, the course will briefly examine how they form, where they are located, how they are extracted, and how reserves are defined. Connection between geographical distribution of these resources and plate tectonic processes are explained. Students are asked to explore the political stability and economic status of countries that host those resources and how these issues affect the access to these resources. The course will then examine present-day and historical energy use, including per capita, per nation, and percentage of GDP (gross domestic product), and guide students to make the connection between energy use and population increase as well as the change in the standards of living. The second half of the semester will be largely student-led and focus more on the societal issues related to energy use such as: (1) environmental problems associated with energy and metal extraction and presence/absence/adequacy of policies that regulate these practices; (2) effect of our lifestyle choices on energy consumption; (3) true cost of producing energy, food, and other goods (life cycle assessment); and (4) consideration of ecosystem services vs. the value of energy or other resources produced or extracted. If time allows, we will also examine different policies toward renewable energy and/or GHG (greenhouse gas) emission enacted by different countries or states and discuss whether similar policies could be enacted in the US or in Minnesota. Student-led class discussion of topics constitute the bulk of the second half of the course. Applied for approval for Liberal Education curriculum for the Environment theme.
Old:
Geologic aspects of energy/material resources. Resource size/life-times. Environmental consequences of resource use. Issues of international/public ethics associated with resource production, distribution, and use.
