Course details

Examines the physics that determines Earth's climate and controls how climate changes. May include study of Earth’s atmosphere, ocean and cryosphere, and comparison to other Earth-like planets. Analyses climate data and examines a hierarchy of climate models, from idealised mathematical models to complex Global Climate Models.
