Students on this course will gain an academic and experience-based understanding of the issues faced by the cultures and landscapes of the Colorado Plateau. “Resilience and Revolution in a Region on the Edge” is the unifying theme of the course. We explore how these concepts apply to various biophysical and social systems experiencing disturbance – either by rebounding to a previous state (resilience) or with substantial shifts in structure and function (revolution).

Students must be prepared for a rigorous academic and physical experience. WRFI assesses each student's preparation through our Academic Course Application, including references for academic capability.
