SUST 310 - Climate Science


Credits: Three (3)
This course examines the science of climate change with analyses of the implications of this change on the patterns of daily life on the personal, local, national, and global scales. This course looks at the major forces, feedbacks, cycles and oscillations that create climate both locally and globally. Changes in climate over geological as well as historic time will be studied and impacts on biodiversity and our own species will be discussed. Students will use Climate Science as a tool to familiarize themselves with how modern science is practiced and how evidence is assessed by the scientific community.
