GEOL 324 - Paleoclimatology & Paleoceanography

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.
