GEOSCIENCE 310 - Geoscience System Modeling

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

From the basic conceptual to more complex numerical frameworks, models allow one to examine specific aspects of a complex real system and predict outcomes. This course is an introduction to systems modeling with applications to the Earth and environmental sciences. Basic systems concepts and systems thinking will be introduced in the contexts of hydrological, climatic, and other environmentally relevant systems. Students identify key processes and relationships in geoscience systems, represent these elements quantitatively in models, and assess the validity of model predictions. Project-based laboratories provide an opportunity for students to develop and test their own models. Prerequisite: ENV 170 and Calculus or permission of the instructor.
