CHID 498E  ---'Historical Experience Beyond the Academy' 
(What role does history play in our contemporary society?)
5 Credits
SLN #18773
**********************************************************************************
ESS 105 is an entry-level course in introductory geology that emphasizes the human and environment impact of geological processes. The course focuses on explaining how things work geologically, tending to be much more process-oriented than terminology-driven. The subject matter is particularly relevant here in the Pacific Northwest because it introduces in-depth the geology of volcanoes, earthquakes, plate tectonics and mountain-building, and the surficial processes of landsliding, flooding, glaciation and global climate change. The course lab sessions focus more on group consideration of important local issues, such as earthquake hazards in Seattle, the condition of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the potential danger of living in the shadow of Mount Rainier, and city planning in landslide-prone Seattle. Students work together on research 
projects (and produce a professional-quality poster) as the capstone of the lab program. The course includes weekly fieldtrips, evening study sessions, informal post-lecture discussion sessions with the professor, 
and a class-wide community-service project with an environment focus.

Prof. Rick Gustafson (pulp at u.washington.edu)

Read this: Did you know that in one year, 2 billion books, 359 million magazines, and 24 billion newspapers are published in the United States? 

We use a lot of paper, over 700lbs/person/year in the United States alone, whereas countries with large populations use about 1/10 of that amount. What will happen when countries like India and China start using paper at the same rate we do? Will we run out wood? Drown in garbage? Or will there be no significant impact? This course will address present and projected needs for paper products in modern and in developing societies, possible alternatives to paper and the broad decisions required to minimize costs to society measured in terms of raw materials, capital, energy and environmental pressures. Learn about issues that range from government operations to your next trip to the store!
