Three hours laboratory (36 hours total per quarter).
Introductory climatology lab developed in collaboration with the American Meteorological Society which places students in a dynamic learning environment where they investigate Earth’s climate system using real-world data used by professional climatologists to study and forecast future changes in Earth’s climate system. Lab sessions will include current computer graphics products downloaded from the American Meteorological Society’s “Online Climate Studies” homepage which has been speci cally designed for this course. Students will practice the analytical skills used by climatologists in assessing the world’s climate and will examine the factors that produce critical changes in climate such as “global warming.” While focusing on science, students will address many of the social and societal impacts of impending climate change.
