ALIR - Global Change in the Earth System

Led by a UTSA Associate Professor, this class will review the scientific evidence of human-induced climate change and follow the far-reaching effects on the entire earth system, as defined by the intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These include the rise in global surface temperature; ocean warming, less winter snow cover, and the melting of Arctic sea ice/glaciers. We'll examine the impacts of these and other changes in terms of severity, frequency, extremes, ecosystems threats and sea level rises.
