GEO 510 - Dimensions of Global Change

This course is designed to be an intense study in global climate change science. The emphasis will be on modern climate change however, by studying the contributions of paleoclimatology we can gain insight into how the climate system operates. To understand modern climate change and predictions, it is necessary to develop an understanding of natural climate forcing, natural variability and feedbacks in the climate systems. Adding to natural variation are the impacts of anthropogenic forcing. The course will examine the measured and predicted consequences of these anthropogenic forcing.
