The main focus of this
interdisciplinary program is to study culture, economic development,
biodiversity conservation (wildlife and coastal/marine), and management of
natural resources such as mineral deposits, forests, grassland and mangrove
forests in a developing world context. Tanzania is home to some of the most
diverse and economically valuable natural resources. This program will give students first hand experience on issues related to natural resource access, control, and management, livelihood
security, and economic development through an interdisciplinary lens of
geology, ecology, and human-geography.
