COURSE OVERVIEW This semester you will be introduced to the most important processes affecting the Earth’s climate.
Upon completing this course, you should be able to interpret climate data in terms of physical mechanisms.
You should understand projections of climate change, be able to explain the underlying physics and grasp the
bases for various projections while recognizing their reliabilities and uncertainties, and be prepared to
contribute informatively to public discussions of climate change. If you are so inclined, you should have
a basis for choosing worthwhile research questions related to climate variability and change and for identifying
suitable approaches to attacking these questions.
