Students will gather and evaluate scientific data and investigate the social, political, psychological, economic, and philosophical issues surrounding the interpretation and use of these data for addressing contemporary controversies over global climate change.

Applications are being solicited for the 2002 session to be held in Boulder, Colorado, from June 17 to August 9. Prerequisites are one course each in the physical sciences and philosophy, junior or senior standing, and a minimum GPA of 3.2.
