Through in-depth analysis, including receptive but critical examination of issues from various perspectives, students study how natural processes and human activity alter the composition of the ocean and atmosphere and trigger climate change at different temporal and spatial scales, globally and regionally. Students develop their knowledge of systems and energy flow, and atmospheric and ocean circulation; methodologies, records, and indicators of climate change; and the consequences of human activity within the context of natural climate change and the environment's capacity to absorb anthropogenic impacts. . Prerequisites: Completion of 60 credits is recommended.
