Mountains 101
Mountains 101 provides a comprehensive and integrated introduction to the mountain world. This 12-lesson course introduces students to an interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on the physical, biological, and human components of mountain areas in Alberta, Canada, and throughout the world. You'll learn about the geological origins of mountains, how they're built up and worn down over time; their importance for biodiversity and water cycles, both globally and locally; their cultural significance to societies around the world, and how that relationship has evolved over time; and how mountains are used and protected, and how they're changing rapidly in a warming climate.
Mountains 101 will also provide learners with some clever tactics — Tech Tips — at the conclusion of each course to safely spend time in the high alpine environment, from how to choose the finest hiking boots to making smart judgments in avalanche areas. They'll provide your online lectures from valley bottoms to mountaintops; from museums and labs to alpine huts and other stunning alpine locales; with the support of a team of professionals. This is one of the best online geology courses.
