MET 440/540: Global Climate Change
3.00 Credits
Valparaiso University
An examination of the physical processes of global climate change, both past and future. The emphasis will be on the issues of future climate change, including greenhouse forcing and important atmospheric and oceanic feedback mechanisms. The course will also investigate local and regional climate changes resulting from land use, such as deforestation and desertification. In addition to discussing relevant literature, students will explore several climate data sets. Prerequisite: MET 215 and MATH 131.
