EES 213 - Climate Modeling


Credits: 1

Students will utilize software to construct basic models of Earth Systems. No prior knowledge of the software is assumed or required. Weekly assignments will consist of computer-based modeling exercises, each progressively building upon previous assignments. Specifically, students will utilize software to construct relatively simple models of world population growth, fossil fuel consumption, the global carbon cycle, and the Earth’s energy balance. The final modeling exercise couples the population growth, carbon cycle, and Earth energy balance assignments in an efFort to explore the effect of future population growth and carbon dioxide emissions on global mean temperature.

Co-requisites: EES 210 
Repeatable: May not be repeated for credit
