The new course examines the climate crisis from a variety of perspectives. Professor Mark Urban explores a major thermokarst on the edge of a lake in Alaska. Thermokarsts form when buried ice melts, leaving a mud pit. in 2016. For the third time in less than 12 months, the UConn academic community has come together quickly to address a subject of current concern and is offering another “pop-up” course this spring semester. “Climate Crisis: Take Action” is a free, one-credit course that will be taught asynchronously by UConn faculty from schools and colleges from across the university. One version of the course will be offered for undergraduate and graduate students (UNIV3985). This eight-week course begins on Monday, March 1 and ends on Wednesday, April 28.
