Understand different types of air pollution problems (including climate change), what causes them and how we can prevent or minimize these air problems.
An Intermediate-Level Course by SNUx
Welcome to "Air Environmental Systems: From Pollution to Climate Change," an engaging intermediate-level course offered by SNUx. This comprehensive program delves into the critical aspects of air quality and environmental systems, providing students with a solid foundation in the science and engineering principles that govern our atmosphere. Throughout the course, you'll explore the intricacies of air pollutants, their movement patterns, and their far-reaching impacts on both local and global scales. From the air we breathe indoors to the complex issues of climate change, this course offers a holistic understanding of the challenges and solutions in air environmental systems.
This course is designed for intermediate-level learners. While there are no specific prerequisites listed, a basic understanding of environmental science or engineering concepts would be beneficial. Students should be comfortable with scientific terminology and have a keen interest in environmental issues.
By enrolling in this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to understand and address one of the most pressing issues of our time. Join us in exploring the intricate world of air environmental systems and become part of the solution to global environmental challenges!

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?
This course encourages educators to engage students with the Smithsonian Institution’s experts and collections (both tangible and digital), as they follow Montgomery College-Smithsonian Faculty (MCSF) Fellows on their virtual 2021 series, “Addressing 21st-Century Challenges.”
The Earth’s temperature is determined by a balance between incoming energy and outgoing energy, which is affected by many factors, including sunspots, astronomical cycles, and greenhouse gasses. In this course, we compare recent climate conditions with a vast historical record that goes back thousands, even millions, of years. We also investigate the role of feedback loops and why they make climate modeling particularly challenging.
