Introduction to Climate Change

DeAnza College via California Community Colleges System

Overview

This course is an introduction to the study of global climate change, including both natural and human-induced causes. Topics include interactions among Earth's various climate subsystems--the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere--and how exchanges of energy and matter between them govern Earth's climate. Students will also examine the methods used by climate scientists to construct past climates and to predict future climate changes. The impact that humans have had on the climate system and potential solutions to climate change will be woven throughout.
