Catalog description

54 hours lecture per term. This course engages students in a study of climate science including global warning and climate change. Students will examine 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. The interaction of humans with the climate system will be woven throughout. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC
