GEOG 60 Earth System Modeling
What will Earth look like in 2100? Scientists use the world’s most sophisticated computer programs—climate models—to answer such questions. This applications-based class introduces the theory and practicalities of process-based modeling for climate science. We will employ a range of models, from 0-dimensional to fully-coupled global-scale Earth System Models. Focusing on climate change, we will learn the potentials and pitfalls of modeling complex systems and how to evaluate models and their societal relevance.
