BIOL 0630 - Climate Change


Credits: 3

This course is an in-depth look into the effects of global climate change. After learning about climate forcing mechanisms, students will read, analyze, and discuss primary literature regarding how climate change affects various natural communities (e.g. tropical forests, coral reefs, fisheries, estuaries). Although focused on the biological concepts, the course will also involve weekly discussions and activities that can be adapted for the secondary classroom.

Prerequisites: Ecology or permission of instructor.
