Upcoming course: Exploring Colorado through Maps: Last Call
Joseph Kerski
Greetings All:
Last call for this upcoming course - it is going to be a blast and so very geo-spatial!
This would be a suitable course for you to introduce colleagues to the whole idea of “why maps matter” and “why geography matters.” And you could use this model to do something similar for other states or regions or countries.

Exploring Colorado Through Maps

I am teaching the above course in a sequence of 4 online class sessions, 1-3pm on successive Mondays from 27 Oct through 17 Nov 2025. Join me or tell a colleague!
Content: Through a lively exploration of interactive digital maps, past and present, let’s explore Colorado! What are the longest and widest rivers in the state? The strangest boundary of the state? The weirdest place names? What was the street layout of Denver and Colorado Springs 100 years ago? We will explore Colorado’s history, landforms, water, habitat, population change, energy, land use, biomes, natural hazards, and much more through this engaging and relevant course. Whether you are from Colorado or not, this course may challenge a few preconceived notions you have about the Centennial State, confirm some others, and make you glad that you live in Colorado (or make you want to visit!).
There is a small fee but it helps support the lifelong learning program at the University of Denver.
Thanks all and hope to see you there!
