New for fall 2018: STIA 412: Climate Science and Policy Centennial Lab

As a STIA Senior Capstone Course and SFS Centennial Lab (C-Lab), this newly redesigned, experiential course is focused on developing practical solutions to climate change and sharing them beyond the classroom. Students will become familiar with the cutting-edge academic science and policy research being done on climate change, as well as work on hands-on projects where they must develop their own solutions to different aspects of the climate change challenge. Climate change, as a global environmental, social, technological, economic and ethical challenge, is inherently interdisciplinary. Course labs are problem-driven, interactive exercises that are designed to teach interdisciplinary research skills and relevant software and tools for data analysis and visualization. This semester our labs include a “Diplomacy Lab” where we will be working directly with the climate change office at the US State Department, and a “Campus Lab” where we will be working directly with the Georgetown Director of Energy and Utilities and the Director of Sustainability on a campus-based climate mitigation project.
