The Science of Natural Cooling
Explore how nature cools the land—and how we can work with it, not against it. This class introduces the emerging science behind natural cooling and rainfall, and what it means for how we manage forests, grow food, and build on the land.
Through a practical lens, you’ll gain insight into how sun and water move across landscapes—and how thoughtful stewardship can create more resilient, climate-ready systems.
