GEOL 110 - Weather and Climate: Past, Present, and Future


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 NS

New course added 05.13.08.

We are fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate, to be living in a period of climate change. In this course, we will explore how the climate system works, the proxy records used by scientists to understand past climate, natural climate cycles through geologic time, and the current and predicted climate changes due to human-induced global warming. How fast does climate change? What are the effects of climate change? How do human societies react to changing climate? Enrollment limit: 30.
Instructor: K. LaBlanc
