Participants will engage in fieldwork and apply geotechnologies and data analysis techniques to study environmental systems, gaining hands-on experience in one of the world's most biodiverse regions. The course covers both environmental and quantitative literacy topics introducing students to various aspects of the geography in mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, analytical, and field-based approaches to geographic research. Key topics include Latin American geography, ecology, human-environment interactions, sustainability, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Science. The course integrates field visits, daily journal entries, compositions, and class discussions and debates on assigned topics.
