Ranging from Northfield to the Niger river delta, Carleton students in Professor Trish Ferrett’s Abrupt Climate Change class have been giving voice to important issues relating to climate change. Come and see the multimedia websites they have built for these organizations next Wednesday in Carleton’s Great Hall.
Students in this class have been applying their learning about environmental issues to create informational multimedia websites for groups trying to make a difference. Eight groups of students will be exhibiting their work simultaneously next week. Here are the topics that are addressed:
- water issues in the southwest US along the Rio Grande
- coral reef dulling around the world
- moose and ecosystem issues in the Boundary Waters
- West Nile virus in Minnesota
- renewable energy in Northfield
- energy conservation in Minnesota
- crop diversity and food security in the US
- vulnerable populations in the Mississipi (remember Katrina) and Niger river deltas
Come and see how Carleton students have been applying their knowledge to matters of global importance.
