The Program in Global Sustainability at UCI is please to announce the
on-line course "State of the World", taught by Dr. Barry Costa-Pierce. An
in-depth interdisciplinary examination of global issues important into the
21st century of water, pollution, habitat transformations, biological
transformations, food, waste, energy, health, and communities. The first
part of the course examines the theoretical and applied concepts of
sustainability, natural and social ecology, ecosystems management,
ecological engineering, and regenerative studies. In the second half, the
course covers the tools and practices of sustainability using new
ecotechnologies and social science methods. Applications of solar energy,
agroecology, ecological aquaculture, biological wastewater, treatment,
restoration ecology, and community-based social rehabilitation tools for a
sustainable society will be emphasized. The course will also explore
ecological and social models from Asia-Pacific and African societies where
alternative, sustainable societies and farming ecosystems have evolved.
