NRM 768 - Global Climate Change

Credits: 3
The course will provide a multidisciplinary examination of the drivers of the Earth’s climate, how they interact, and how they change over time. We will critically examine the roles of greenhouse gases and anthropogenic land cover/use in affecting these changes as well as the types, strengths and limitations of global climate models. Class will combine lectures on various aspects of the Earth’s climate system with class discussion of a variety of scientific papers exploring the current controversies and ideas central to climate research. Students will be challenged to develop their own projects/papers on course-related topics and use the most recent scientific research to decide for themselves about the importance of global climate change. Cross-Listed: GEOG /GSE 768 .
