A comprehensive look at climate integrated across terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric perspectives. Topics include an in-depth look at climate proxies, drivers of future, current and past climate change, climate monitoring approaches, and climate model projections. Students will be exposed to the quantitative aspects (chemistry, physics, theory, observations, models) scientists use to place constraints on climate conditions over broad spatial and temporal scales. ²Ñ·¡´¡Ìý415 is open to upper-level undergraduate science majors interested in learning more about Earth's climate systems and the dynamics within. ²Ñ·¡´¡Ìý515 is open to all graduate students with the expectation of an additional climate assessment course project relevant to the student's own research discipline. Students cannot receive credit for both ²Ñ·¡´¡Ìý415 and ²Ñ·¡´¡Ìý515.

Prerequisite: ²Ñ´¡Ìý121 or ²Ñ´¡Ìý131 or ²Ñ´¡Ìý141 and °ä±áÌý101 or °ä±áÌý103 and ±Ê³ÛÌý201 or ±Ê³ÛÌý205 or ±Ê³ÛÌý211
