How does economics influence the decisions we make as a society about resource extraction and waste management?

This program focuses on the fundamentals of economics as applied to the effects of economic choices on the Earth's environment, including the economic effects of public policy toward resource industries and methods of waste disposal, and the potential effects of climate change on the global economics. Students will also study an introduction to the fundamentals of earth sciences including minerals, rocks, soils, and waters that define much of the Earth's environment and how these materials interact with each other and with the atmosphere, as well as the effects of mineral and energy extraction on the environment and how industrial waste interacts with solids and liquids in the environment.
