Seminar in Environmental Science: Geoengineering
MIT's Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences department offers this seminar for students who already have a grounding in environmental science and want to work through current research. This term's focus is geoengineering, examined through readings and discussion that connect atmospheric chemistry, biology, and geology to real policy questions. The course materials on MIT OpenCourseWare include the syllabus, assigned readings, and topic schedule used to structure student-led discussion sessions. It is designed to sharpen the ability to integrate core scientific concepts with the policy debates surrounding large-scale climate interventions. As an OpenCourseWare offering, there is no instructor feedback or certificate, but all materials are free to use under MIT's open license.
