4.00 Credits
Satellite remote sensing data are increasingly used to study the Earth system. Provides an overview of the principles behind remote sensing, and the types of satellite data available for study of the oceans, land, and atmosphere. Prerequisite: Earth System Science 51, 53, or 55; or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Chemistry of the troposphere and stratosphere. Topics include: processes controlling the lifetime and reaction pathways of chemicals in the atmosphere, the role of the atmosphere in biogeochemical cycles, and interactions between atmospheric chemistry and the physical climate system. Prerequisites: Chemistry 1A-B-C.
-
4.00 Credits
Processes controlling the major and minor element composition of seawater and element distributions in the ocean. Gas exchange, carbon dioxide system, stable isotopes, radionuclides as tracers and chronometers, particle fluxes, organic geochemistry, sediment geochemistry, global cycles of biogeochemically important elements.
-
4.00 Credits
Air pollution occurs on global, continental, and urban scales. We pollute the atmosphere in different ways. Its consequences on the quality of the air we breathe, health of our ecosystems, ozone layer depletion, and changes in our climate are studied. ( II)
-
4.00 Credits
A mechanistic perspective of the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Includes the mechanisms that control plant growth, hydrology and nutrient cycling, and the roles terrestrial ecosystems play in local and global biogeochemistry. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences E106 or consent of instructor. Same as Biological Sciences E118 and Environmental Analysis and Design E167. Concurrent with Earth System Science 264.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of the interactions between plants and their environment. Emphasis on the underlying physiological mechanisms of plant function, adaptations and responses to stress, and the basis of the distribution of plants and plant assemblages across the landscape. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences E106 or consent of instructor. Same as Biological Sciences E127.
-
4.00 Credits
Establishes a fundamental understanding of microbes living in the environment, including their distribution, diversity, and biochemistry, and discusses how they attribute to global biogeochemical cycles. Prerequisite: Earth System Science 53 or Biological Sciences E106. Same as Biological Sciences E163. Concurrent with Earth System Science 270.
-
