Description
This course focuses on how our personal relationship with the night creates emergent systems of connections throughout the globe and between species. Students will examine specific case studies of these connections in-depth and in so doing will gain interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in astronomy, biology, anthropology, engineering, and policy-making. The course will include some fieldwork, including learning how to use new drone technology to measure lighting impacts in communities inside and outside of Salt Lake City.
