Introduction to theoretical aspects of dynamic and synoptic meteorology and numerical weather prediction. The kinematic quantities of vorticity and divergence, as well as the analysis of weather systems will be emphasized. Prerequisite: MATH-142, Co-requisite: PHYS-161/162, or permission of the instructor. Must be taken concurrently with EAS-211.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the fundamental processes which effect climate and influence climate change. Topics include: earth¿s radiation budget, oceanic and atmospheric general circulations, ocean, atmosphere and land interactions, climate classifications, and the hydrologic cycle. Prerequisite: EAS-142, co-requisite: MATH-142 or better math course, or permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
The seminar series is comprised of two components. Environmental scientists and professionals will be invited to give four seminars on important environmental issues. Three seminars will also be given to prepare students for their future careers. Must be declared environmental science / studies major or in the process of declaring to enroll in seminar.
-
3.00 Credits
