The earth's climate changes. But why? And how? In this course, we will explore how the earth's climate works, investigating past climates, the current climate system and projections into the future. We will discover what a changing climate has meant for life on earth, for people, and the rise and fall of civilizations. Through mini-lectures, activities, discussions and assignments we will discover what's in store for our own future, and if/how can we deal with it.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
