-
3.00 Credits
The course will explore current and sometimes controversial topics in science. Topics will vary, and will be related to the natural science discipline prefix including concepts in chemistry, physics, geology, meteorology and climate science, geography, and mathematics.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This is an introductory lecture/lab course on properties of atmosphere and weather phenomena. The effects of the physical controls as they alter the weather elements are emphasized. The construction and analysis of weather maps and weather forecasting is an integral part of the laboratory component of the course.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will explore the basic principles of physical science which describe the world we live in and the universe that surrounds us. Topics will vary related to the physical science discipline prefix including concepts in chemistry, physics, geology, meteorology and climate science, geography, and mathematics.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the interaction between extreme geologic and atmospheric phenomena and humans. It focuses on aspects of the near-surface Earth system that are hazardous, processes, factors and effects that make them hazardous, occurrences, mitigation, and applications of concepts and techniques to understand these phenomena.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will explore and apply scientific principles that describe and explain interesting current topics in the environmental sciences. Topics will be related to the environmental science discipline prefix including concepts in biology, meteorology and climate science, geology, geography, chemistry and physics.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course that focuses on environmental issues relevant to Earth's atmosphere such as the climate of the Earth, atmospheric energy and the structure of the atmosphere, ozone depletion, air quality and air pollution, cloud formation, and particulate matter in the atmosphere.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of anthropogenic climate change. Climate involves interactions between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and solid earth. Students will examine the principles of climate change, evidence for change, and its current context with historical trends.
-
3.00 Credits
This course discusses the issue of climate change which has become the defining environmental issue for our global society. Its effects, however, are unequal in different regions of the world. These disparities are due to processes in climate but also due to societal inequities caused in part due to historical inertia or geographic challenges.
-
3.00 Credits
This upper division course will give students experience setting up instrumentation, and programming dataloggers. Students will also be expected to design an experiment for the collection of data to solve a meteorological problem. Students will also learn about instrumentation errors and ensuring data quality. Suitable for all geoscience majors.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a hands-on practicum focused on weather forecasting skill development. Course is a blend of theoretical approach to forecasting and weekly forecasting assignments, that include an in-class weather forecasting competition.
