GEO 160 Global Climate Change
Presents global climate change from an Earth science perspective including explorations of paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, vegetation, fluvial systems, and oceanic circulation. Analyze observed and predicted impacts of climate change on the world's terrestrial regions. Examine interrelationships among economy, society, and public policy as well as geographic variation in greenhouse gas emissions at national and regional scales. Also discussed will be efforts to mitigate climate change and its causes and/or adaptations to global climate change.
