Planet Earth Our Foundation Year in Environmental Science
Understanding Our Planet’s Systems
Our Foundation Year in Environmental Science starts with a deep dive into the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems. We explore the intricacies of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, examining how they interact and influence each other. Students learn about crucial processes like the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the water cycle, understanding their vital role in maintaining a habitable planet. We use a systems thinking approach, encouraging students to consider the cascading effects of changes within one system on the others. This foundation lays the groundwork for understanding the complexities of environmental challenges.
