Climate Change: Science and Impacts. The Earth’s Climate. The Earth’s Greenhouse Efect1. Climate change is altering temperature, precipitation, and sea levels, and will adversely impact human and natural systems, including water resources, human settlements and health, ecosystems, and biodiversity.
It provides a concise but thorough overview of the science, technology, economics, policy, and politics of climate change in a single volume. It explains how scientific and policy debates work, outlines the scientific evidence for the reality and seriousness of climate change and the basic atmospheric science that supports it, and discusses ...
Each group of coaches will also prepare a two-slide presentation for a special course session on critically reading popular press articles about climate change, and another such presentation for the last class on the interface between climate change science and policy.
Lecture Notes. This section provides the schedule of lecture topics and instructors along with lecture notes for select sessions.
This class describes the science of global warming and the forecast for humans’ impact on Earth’s climate. Intended for an audience without much scientific background but a healthy sense of curiosity, the class brings together insights and perspectives from physics, chemistry, biology, earth and atmospheric sciences, and even some economics ...
which a sound wave travels depends upon the type of medium (air, water, rock) that it is moving through. In air, sound travels approximately 1000 feet per second; in water it travels at about 4800 feet per second. A good example of how fast sound travels in air can be observed during a thunderstorm. If you see the flash of lightning,
