  • ATSC 4001: ESS Modeling

    4.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    akes a modeling approach to demonstrate how the Earth is integrated into an interconnected system through exchanges of energy and matter, and how Earth system functioning is susceptible to human alteration. Unifying concepts focus on quantitative interactions between the Earth and the Sun, and between the Earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Cross listed with BOT/GEOL/ESS 4001. Prerequisites: MATH 2205 or equivalent and ESS 2000 or GEOL 2000.
