    About the Course

    Mountains 101­­ is a broad and integrated overview of the mountain world. This 12-lesson course covers an interdisciplinary field of study
    focusing on the physical, biological, and human dimensions of mountain places in Alberta, Canada, and around the world. Specifically, we'll
    study the geological origins of mountains, how they’re built-up and worn-down over time; we’ll learn about their importance for biodiversity and
    water cycles, globally and locally; we’ll explore their cultural significance to societies around the globe, and how that relationship has evolved
    over time; and we’ll learn how mountains are used, how they’re protected, and how today they’re experiencing rapid change...

    Very interesting, wide ranging and easy to understand content. I learned a lot, and was reminded of a lot I already knew about mountains and mountain habitat.

    For a course title as simple as Mountains 101, the course covered a very diverse range of topics. I loved the inclusion of present day Canada Parks examples.

    Excellent course, very broad covering every aspect. The teachers did lack a bit of charisma while presenting but the in depth content more than compensated.
