Science & Religion 101 (Coursera)

Humanities

This course examines the nature of both science and religion and attempts to explore the possible relationships between them. The primary purpose is to dispel the popular myth that science and religion are entrenched in a never-ending conflict. As a result, this course argues that if the limits of both science and religion are respected, then their relationship can be complementary.

Deep Time: Discovering an Ancient Earth (Coursera)

Sci: Environment Science

Ever since our ancestors ventured onto the African savanna, human beings have searched, explored, and wondered about the world. Nowadays, and certainly for most, science is the vehicle that takes us along a path towards understanding nature. It can bring us from sub-atomic realms to the most distant galaxies. Largely through the discipline of geology, science allows us to push back the mists of time and peer into a past measured in billions of years, and aptly referred to as “Deep Time.” Climb on board!

Marte tra scienza e cultura (POK)

Sci: Physical & Earth Sciences

Il corso offre una panoramica a 360° sul pianeta Marte, trattato nei suoi molteplici aspetti: dall’esplorazione spaziale, alla geologia, al clima, passando per l’ipotetica presenza di forme di vita e per la fantascienza. Dopo un'introduzione storico/culturale, dedicata alla storia delle osservazioni marziane, al mito dei marziani e alla sua origine, Marte verrà descritto da un punto di vista più scientifico. Si parlerà pertanto della sua struttura, della sua geologia, dei grandi vulcani (un tempo attivi) e della presenza dell’acqua nelle sue varie forme.

Planning for Climate Change in African Cities (Coursera)

Engineering Sci: Environment

Climate change poses a threat to economic growth and long-term prosperity of many countries around the world. Africa is not an exception, considering the actual and potential impacts of climate change and climate variability that will threaten its vulnerable sectors and human populations. African countries are projected to experience changing rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and higher temperatures that will affect food security, agricultural production, water availability, and public health, among others. These climate change impacts and climate variability can further produce social and political problems, such as rural-urban migration and water resource disputes.

Climate Change Mitigation in Developing Countries (Coursera)

Sci: Physical & Earth Sciences Sci: Environment

This course challenges you to consider how one might lift societies out of poverty while also mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. We explore the inherent complexity of developing country governments wanting to grow their economies in a climate friendly way. You will be introduced to an approach with which to address this challenge. The approach consists of a facilitated process whereby academic researchers and high-level influential actors within society co-produce knowledge. You will track this process in four Latin American countries - Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. You will hear from various professionals about their contexts and the different challenges and opportunities the process includes.
