Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. demonstrate ability to trace the historical development of climate along with evidence to support scientific understanding of that history, from paleoclimatology to geologically recent climate change.
2. demonstrate appreciation of the complexity of climate system interactions within the atmosphere and with other earth/oceanic/biological spheres.
3. demonstrate ability to explain the various controls on climate, energy flux, and atmospheric teleconnections that drive the global climate system.
