Course Graph

Prerequisite flow into the course, and dependencies flow out from it.

Co-requisites are treated as prerequisite links, and equivalent or cross-listed courses are merged into shared course nodes. The simplified view shows one prerequisite level above the course and one dependency level downstream.

Description

Catalog description

Introduces the processes and mechanisms through which the atmosphere, ocean, earth, and biosphere interact to control Earth’s climate. Examines interactions via the carbon cycle and climate feedbacks, giving rise to stability, gradual evolution, and rapid change in the climate system. Develops understanding of the dynamics of the climate system by examining records of past climates and climate models. Applies this understanding to anthropogenic climate change.
