Mountains 101 is a comprehensive and integrated overview of the mountain world.
This 12-lesson course covers an interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on the physical, biological, and human dimensions of mountainous places in Alberta, Canada, and around the world.
Specifically, we will study the geological origins of mountains, how they are built and weathered over time; we will learn about its importance for biodiversity and water cycles, globally and locally; we will explore its cultural importance to societies around the world and how that relationship has evolved over time; and we will learn how mountains are used, how they are protected, and how today they are undergoing rapid changes in a warming climate.
At the end of each lesson, Mountains 101 will also provide students with some smart tricks, technical tips, to safely enjoy time in the high alpine environment: from choosing the best hiking shoes to making smart decisions in avalanche terrain.
We'll deliver your lessons online from the bottom of valleys to the tops of mountains, from museums and labs to alpine huts and other spectacular alpine sites, and we'll do it with the help of a host of experts.
We invite you to join us in this online adventure! The mountains are calling.
