Climate Change
An introduction to the fundamental physical principles governing the climate of the Earth system, and its response to anthropogenic factors. Topics include: components of the climate system, radiative energy balance, forcings and feedbacks, the carbon cycle, climate of the past, impacts of climate change, global climate model projections, and approaches to mitigation and adaptation.
