University of Colorado Boulder just launched a free, online course exploring water and climate in the western United States. The self-paced course, developed by Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Center for Education, Engagement and Evaluation (CEEE) director Anne Gold and CIRES’ Western Water Assessment’s former managing director Eric Gordon, dives into questions including:

  • Why is there so much conflict over water in the American West?
