Course Description
This is an introductory course for non-science majors on climate and climate change. The goal of the course is to help students understand the major climate issues of the day and the role of human activity in climate change. A related goal is to enable students to evaluate material about these issues critically. The class focus will be on the earth climate as a coupled system including the interactions between atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere.
