Credits: (4)
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 160  and (GEOL 101  or GEOL 110  or GEOL 150 ) Corequisite(s): GEOL 324L
This course investigates evidence for changes in Earth’s climate system over geologic timescales and the methods used to reconstruct past climate. Information archived in geologic records from the global oceans, terrestrial landscapes, and ice sheets will be examined to explore how past climate and oceanographic changes relate to climate forcing and feedback mechanisms, and how they help contextualize present and projected future climate trends.
