Introduction to Environmental Analysis

Planners are increasingly in need of analyzing environmental data to curb and anticipate the effects that come with climate change for adaptation and mitigation. This course introduces methods of environmental data analysis across varying geographic scales and underlying planning issues in the context of climate change.

The structure of the course will be defined through four modules (Global, National, Regional, and City), to introduce students to the variety of environmental data and analyses for different geographies. Each module will underscore planning approaches to climate change, including addressing rising temperatures and urban heatwaves, energy supply vulnerability and the challenge of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions through compact city simulation and planning for urban heat island adaptation.

Students master different skills including spatial suitability, data management, scenario development and machine learning to answer scale-specific research questions. The course will use analytics that will propel planners into the world of big data and help model the complexities of climate change related environmental processes.
