GEOG 378 - Controversies in Earth System Science

Type of Course: Seminar
This graduate-level seminar examines emerging issues and current controversies in Earth System Science. Some of the most contentious issues in the Earth Sciences are inherently interdisciplinary and involve significant interactions between land, atmosphere, ocean, ice, and humans. Specific topics discussed in this seminar include abrupt climate change, biogeochemical cycling, biocomplexity, oscillatory climate phenomena, trace gas exchange, ice sheet dynamics, paleoclimate, extreme weather events, and human-induced environmental change. This seminar not only introduces students to recent, cutting-edge research, but given the controversial nature of these issues also gives students insight into the process of critically evaluating Earth System Science studies.

Instructor: Ms. Frey
