Biosphere 2 is a great place to learn more about our planet. It is a large-scale experimental apparatus, serving as one of the world’s most unique facilities housing seven model ecosystems. Within the walls of this facility, active research teams of multidisciplinary scientists create controlled studies, work towards scientific discovery and discussion, and provide a research outlet for public education.

Now, this dedication to public education is extended into a free online course, “Biosphere 2 Science for the Future of Our Planet”.  The scientist in all of us can learn about Planet Earth and the discoveries made at Biosphere 2. In this course, you’ll learn about our planet’s natural systems and how our current knowledge of these systems helps us predict where we are headed in the future.
