In this course we will take a journey from the Sun to the Sea to understand the science behind our changing climate. Are the present-day changes in our global climate really linked to our human activities here on Earth? And are there solutions available to solve the climate crisis?
In this course, participants will explore the various components of Earth's climate system including the oceans, cryosphere, biosphere, and volcanic activity. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how these elements interact with each other and contribute to global climate patterns. Additionally, the course covers how computer models synthesize this information to predict future climate scenarios and discusses potential solutions to address the climate crisis.
Learners will be able to apply their understanding of climate systems in various fields such as environmental policy, sustainability strategies, educational platforms, and in personal decision-making processes related to environmental conservation. The ability to analyze and interpret climate models will also empower learners to engage in informed advocacy and policy-making.
