HS-ESS Human Sustainability Cluster

Description: The HS-ESS Human Sustainability Cluster focuses on how human-made structures, such as dams and raised homes, affect river systems, ecosystems, and community safety. Students analyze data on river flow, flood damage, and habitat changes to evaluate trade-offs in human decisions about energy production, flood mitigation, and environmental sustainability.
