GEOL 331x: Global Climate Change:Past,Present and Future
2.00 Credits
Wheaton College - Massachusetts
This course involves an interdisciplinary approach to the science and social impact of climate change. Beginning with documentation of past climate change during the ice age and proxy evidence for climate during the past 10,000 years, the course progresses to measurement of modern climate and basic meteorology. It culminates with a discussion of humanity's possible impact upon future climate through greenhouse warming and its projected effects upon civilization. Arguments for and against warming are evaluated against the background of the science of climate change. Social effects and discussion of international policies culminate the course. Three lectures, two hours laboratory. Field trip ($35 field trip fee). Prerequisites: ENVR 211, GEOL 201, 211, or 221, or permission of the instructor.
