GEO354   Contemporary Climate Change and Processes   (20 credits)

Description

This module will involve the study of climate, with the emphasis on climatic forcing factors, observation and modelling of the climate system, and ice-climate links: all on the 'contemporary' timescale (past few to next few centuries). The underpinning geophysics will be presented, but using the minimum of mathematics, in order to gain the fullest understanding of processes involved. We will also explore extreme weather events, climate hazards and the societal implications of climate change.
