CE 550: Community and Environmental Analysis

This course provides background in the analysis of communities and the natural environment to support students conducting research in community resilience and adaptation. A breadth of topics range between assessing aspects of the environment that constrain development to exploring forms of community governance that enable planning for future resilience. Students work in teams to study the governing mechanisms and planning-related data associated with their Community Climate Adaptation (CCA) Program research. Introductory training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is also included. Students may not receive credit for this course if they have previously received credit for CE 3070 or CE 3074.
