Course Aims | ||||||||
It is widely recognized that anthropogenic global warming and relevant climate change are severe problems we faced. This course will first cover the basic physical science related to different components of the Earth system that are related to various aspects of the climate system. These concepts are then applied to explain the science of the climate system and climate feedback. The second part of the course is to make use of the knowledge from the first part on the science of the climate system to understand different types of extreme climate/weather events and their impacts on society, and to discuss various adaptation measures to tackle these impacts. The last part will be on mitigation strategies to slow down anthropogenic climate change. | ||||||||
