Prerequisite: GEOG201. Recommended: GEOG211. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOG342 or GEOG347. Formerly GEOG347. The principles of biogeography, including the patterns, processes and distributions of living organisms from local to global scales, aspects of ecophysiology, population and community ecology and evolutionary biology. Spatial processes in the biosphere will be covered.
-
3.00 Credits
The geographic aspects of climate with emphasis on energy-moisture budgets, steady-state and non steady-state climatology, and climatic variations at both macro-and micro-scales.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH140, AOSC/GEOG/GEOL123, or permission of department. Recommended: MATH141, PHYS141, PHYS161, or PHYS171. Also offered as AOSC346 and GEOL346. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: AOSC346, GEOG346, or GEOL346. The Earth System operates through some fundamental cycles such as water, energy, and the Carbon Cycle. This course will build on GEOL/GEOG/AOSC123 starting with concept of feedbacks within the Earth System, global energy balance and the Greenhouse Effect. A brief introduction to the atmospheric and oceanic circulation will lead to the water cycle connecting the land, ocean, and atmosphere to the Earth System. Introduction to the Global carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles will be followed by the concept of long-term climate regulation and short-term climate variability. The concepts of cycles, feedbacks, forcings, and responses in the Earth System will be applied to Global Warming and Ozone Depletion.
