Geography 135 Mock Environmental Summit (This area is password protected)
A mock summit in which students act as representatives of different countries participating in environmental treaty negotiations. Students work in teams of four or five to prepare a presentation and discussion of environmental issues of concern to the world (e.g., energy, greenhouse gasses, etc.).

Geography 248 Earth System Science: Energy and Radiation (This area is password protected)
Processes affecting radiation and energy balance at the top of the atmosphere, within the atmosphere, and at the Earth's surface. This will include the greenhouse effect and the role of clouds, aerosols, and surface processes on climate. Radiative and radiative-convective modeling aspects will be presented and further developed in laboratory with the use of simplified models. (5)

Freshman Seminar INT 94CE: What's Up with Global Climate Change?
A description of the state of the climate system, its natural and human-induced variability; the impacts of human activities, the predicted long-term changes and impacts and those that are already observed; a presentation and an analysis of the Kyoto protocol and other actions that are proposed or could be taken to limit human-induced greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere. The class will be a combination of lectures and active participation by students in the form of software simulations, classroom presentations, student collaboration and discussion on possible climate remediation actions.
