Big Ideas
- Regional changes in the environment can have far-reaching impacts that extend beyond their original location, leading to significant global consequences.
- Understanding the interconnectedness of regional and global environmental processes helps us predict, explain, and potentially mitigate large-scale environmental challenges.
