GEO 542LEC - Fundamentals of Climate Science

An understanding of the processes that control our climate and climate change contributes to our understanding of how our planet works, what impacts of climate variability and change we can anticipate, and how we might make plans for adaptation and mitigation of climate change. Students develop an understanding of the science of climatology, the current state of our understanding of modem global warming, and the ability to critically read and listen to popular science articles and talks on the subject.
