Get ready to discover the basics of environmental science! We'll start by looking at the Earth's natural resources and how nature shapes our world, from powerful events like volcanoes and floods to the impact of climate change. Then, we'll explore how human activities, like nuclear waste, influence our environment.

In this final module, we'll put your data analysis skills to the test. You'll apply what you've learned to real-world environmental issues. From predicting wildfire damage to analyzing deforestation using maps, we'll use different techniques to uncover important trends in environmental data. Plus, we'll dive into forecasting pollution levels and earthquakes, helping us understand and prepare for future challenges.

In this module, you'll dive into understanding how things relate to each other based on their location. We'll explore how close or far things are can affect what they have in common. By using maps and special tools, you'll learn how to spot patterns in location data. This helps us answer questions better and gain new insights.

The final capstone project for the Environmental Data Science certificate is a culmination of your learning journey, providing a hands-on opportunity to apply acquired skills and knowledge in a real-world context. Participants will engage in a comprehensive project that addresses environmental challenges through data-driven solutions.
