Water and People in a Changing World D
Aalto University
<p>Food security and the overall wellbeing of human kind are threatened by the overexploitation of our water and land resources. Water scarcity is not only a threat to people, but also to many of the planet's key ecosystems. But how have we ended up in this situation, and how does the future look like?</p><p>In this course, the aim is to investigate how the world has changed over time, and how these changes have impacted on our water and land resources. Moreover, as the pressure on natural resources is expected to only grow in the future, an overview on future pathways is given.</p><p>Within the course, a student will explore and assess these changes using various spatial analyses methods of R, over different openly available global datasets. Moreover, advanced graph and map making is practised with Adobe Illustrator.</p>
