LAC 28:CXXIII.2509. Human Sustainability

A. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. B. Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios. C. Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity. D. Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems. E. Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth systems. F. Use a computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity.
