ENVR 2301 Earth System Science
This course provides a look at the Earth system as a whole. Emphasis will be on the interrelationships between biological, geological, climatological, and human systems on continental and global scales. The links between these systems will be illustrated by present-day processes and by the geologic record of selected events in Earth system history. This course covers topics such as greenhouse systematics, the carbon cycle, global warming, atmospheric and ocean circulation, climate regulation and human impacts.
