Topics include interactions among Earth's various climate subsystems--the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere--and how exchanges of energy and matter between them govern Earth's climate. Students will also examine the methods used by climate scientists to construct past climates and to predict future climate changes. The impact that humans have had on the climate system and potential solutions to climate change will be woven throughout.Usually HeldMon Wed 10:30am–12:20pm
