The Practicum on the Practical Applications of Environmental Research (PS4734) offers students a unique opportunity to learn about environmental research from different perspectives. Students join us on Tuesdays, from 4:10 - 6:00 PM, to hear directly from leading scientists from Columbia Climate School, the Environmental Protection Agency, the United Nations and more about their groundbreaking work and the real-world implications and applications of their research findings. This exciting course will provide students with insight into how to develop research and sustainability efforts within organizations, from conceptualization to industry integration.
This semester's featured topics will cover issues from working with Indigenous communities and incorporating their experience into environmental research, ESG metrics development and implementation, sustainable investing, environmental justice data configuration and utilization, energy and carbon management, the process to transform a research project into a business, and more.
Students enrolled in this course will learn how to develop a research proposal to address critical issues in an organization and how to develop Key Performance indicators to monitor and evaluate progress. Students will be given the opportunity to conduct independent research on a topic of their choice, as well as a potential platform to publish this research.
The course will also allow students from various Climate School programs to network with each other and with the featured weekly speakers.
